I'm beginning to think someone stole my mojo, absolutely no stitching has been happening at my house!! I've got a few swap things to do so I'm hoping my mojo makes an appearance this weekend!

Sadly I just found this but I'm going to do it anyway. I still need to get the book so I doubt I'll be done by the end of the month but I'm going to give it my best shot!

I'm so sad that I won't be getting mine done before the end of the month. Not sure if I'll even finish for Christmas and that will crush me. I have 5 blocks done now, though I have not yet sent the pictures of the two newest ones. Seems every time I get going on something, health issues get in the way and I haven't even been able to do any stitching. BUT, I'm certainly enjoying seeing how everyone else is coming along and all the beautiful finishes. Looking forward to seeing more. I thank you Chooky for this SAL and I promise that when I DO finish, I will send you a photo. I will also be watching for the next one...I have high hopes for getting back to my stitching and my sewing machine. Hugs...
