BFF RAL after all

 I was all set to put the project with many an odd stitch and very maddening pattern away for the BFF and start a new SAL.

However, that was not to be, Rudolph was not quite ready so neither was Roni.

So, I thought I was done with June and July only to realise June had over 30 lazy daisies to do and July, oh July has over 30 bouillon knots.

This evening June got the daisy stitches (and yes that particular perfume advert did earworm us a bit, Roni more than me but still. Then I moved onto some stem stitch and more daisy in August.

yes August, and the poppies

but what about July, and whatever those yellow flowers are supposed to be ?

Well I could rationalise that I was in the swing with the stem stitching a daisy stitches, I could but that was not the reason My Stitching Brain having been promised a nice new start of proper cross stitching was already in a bit of a sulk at having to do this project instead was certainly not going to put up with having to do Knots.

This is the current position. With work still to be done on July and August. September is done however, October is completely blank at the moment and November need veins on the leaves.

All the months need their names and there are more lazy daisy stitches than I wish to contemplate and channelling Han Solo "don't tell me the numbers" there or the chances of them being done any time soon diminish. I should not have counted the number of knots required in July and will have to work on forgetting I did so I can sew them!

Still it has been some reasonably constant progress.

I looked the pattern up, well the kit, it came as a kit and you can buy the kit on E-Bay if you felt a strong desire to suffer experience the pattern for yourself!

I have some hopes that these threads, sorted ready might get put to use next week and  SAL 20 start , but we shall have to wait and see as Roni may explain on her blog of this evenings delights

now normally this would be a Forestella link but this tune was playing in my mind about our SAL's and RAL's so her it is.
