Here is my TUSAL jar with my current project:
stitched on 28 count Snapdragon Jazlyn from Crafty Kitten
The design is the Faces SAL from Joan Elliott, which I started back in 2014 and have been slowly stitching ever since thanks to a decision to stitch all the skin over one...
This is a sweet block with a mother and baby fairy. I have almost finished the full crosses and then it will be time to tackle the skin! I have cut down by stitching the bloomers on the baby instead of the bare bottom! The design came with the two choices.
What's on my Shelf?
This is a feature I'm going to include on my TUSAL post until I run out of books! I started a Page on my Happy Dance blog for my Stitching Library and realised what a huge task it was so decided to break it down to one book per month. For the next four years...
Title: Cats A Cross Stitch Alphabet
Author: Julie Hasler
Publisher: David Porteous
ISBN: 9781870586122
ISBN: 9781870586122
There are 26 designs in this book, one for each letter of the alphabet.
Lots of different finishing ideas
Different fabric counts and colours
A variety of cat colours too
But all short haired and mostly all moggies!
Instructions for all the finishing techniques are given, including this wonderful quilt
It's a great book and now I am wondering why I have never stitched a cat from it!
Finally, thanks to everyone who took part in the Secret Sweetheart Blog Hop last week. If your sweetheart has not been able to comment on your blog, do let me know and I'll connect the two of you.

Great progress. Wow, a book with just cat patterns!
Snapdragon is looking goergeous!
Your Joan Elliott design is looking so pretty, Jo! Love that fabric for this one. Looks like lots of cute cat charts in that book--I'll look forward to seeing which one you pick to stitch some day :)
Love seeing progress on the Faces SAL! The book is great, but maybe a little too specialized for my taste. I wouldn't know what to stitch these kitties for!
At least it looks like a small area to stitch over one?
Kitties, I spy a Ming look-a-like!
