SAL 2014......

Hi everyone..............
This is not the post you want to read but for now I am unable to start a SAL for 2014..........The drought is taking up all my time and energy and until things can change there for me I cannot even think about committing to anything here. 
Sorry
Chookyblue :(

You have enough on your plate for now. Only wish it would rain for you.

I think everyone will understand!!! We had rain all day and I was thinking of you. We are complaining when it rains and want some rain, so I'm not going to complain anymore.

FloS said...

I can understand ! This is awful…
Like Martine I won't say anything about the rain !
Big hugs

The SAL is not a high priority, we need rain. Hoping those you desperately need rain will receive it.

Very understandable, and there will be other times to think of stitch a longs. Most of us have plenty to keep us busy be it stitching or other activities.
