Mystic Garden SAL

Ok, an update, didn't think it had been this far behind. This is for the 2013 HAED cross stitch SAL.  This is Mystic Garden started, on 25ct antique rose, 1x1 full cross.  I'm kind of at a stopping point....again.  So I haven't gotten very far, and not sure I will.  I do this every SAL.....fantastic charts, so I end up joining, and I really don't have the time, or patience, for it.

Maybe I'll have better resolve and quit doing that.  These are intended for giveaways, so it's not totally frivolous, but based on what I am trying to get done,  it's more distraction than I can afford, I think. I have been physically feeling a little better, very small steps here and there.  It still takes me too long to do anything.(Bad enough that it already did before I got sick.)  I am feeling pressure to make the business venture more of a go, things that are finished, getting views, and a couple things generating money....before this time next year.

So I need to get my head on straight.  There are still plenty of things swirling in the personal background, as well as the road to recovery.  And I do have a few other things going to generate some immediate money.  I will need to change the balance of that some.  I also think I want to really concentrate more on the adult section of cross stitch.  The zodiac and birthstones are still important, too.  I need to cut back on allowing some willy nilly projects though.  And I still need stitchers that want to work at home with these kinds of charts.  Hopefully soon I will have more concrete info to post on a few things.

Pics and SALs

Yep, I'm quite sure I've been remiss and a bit absent.  Busy, busy, mostly in the personal sense..not so much in the stitching or business sense.   Probably will be still hustling a bit over the next couple months. Trying to get an organized routine down---as helpful as it is hurtful!!

Anyway, so a burst of the other last pics of 2012 that I didn't get out here.  Top is Fractal 76 from Cross Stitch Collectibles, 1x1 on 28ct white.  Then SK Blossoms, SPML, HAED, 2x1 on 18ct white.  Letter R, Selina Fenech, HAED, 2x1 18ct white(sparklies are Kreinik #4 braid 1/2 only 2 strands).  And Forgiveness, Galbreth, HAED, 1x1 on 28ct white.

Other than that, main progress has been starting the HAED SAL, Mystic Garden, 1x1 on rose 25ct.  And a FB SAL, with a Tilton Crafts one, Vermilion Paradise 1x1 on 28ct white.  I had thought I was moving right along on QS Pale Rose, too....but messed up on it pretty good I guess while I was sick, so I tossed that--we just won't talk about that one right now.  At least I do want to restart it.
