Another SAL? Sure!

I've been a member of Jardin Prive's FB group for several years, ever since I took part in her Au Fil des Nichoirs mystery SAL:


Her latest mystery SAL is called Histoires du Moutons en Hiver (Stories of Sheep in Winter) and I've been seeing people post their progress for a month. By the time they got to part 4, I couldn't resist anymore and I signed up for it, even though I certainly didn't need another project. Part 5 was released last Wednesday, with nine more parts to go that will be released every Wednesday, so it will take me a little while to get caught up, but since I started it last Thursday night I've finished part 1 and am making good progress on part 2:


I've added a few colors and switched some around, I'll be adding some embellishments, like the sheep's pom-pom, and I'm using Rainbow Gallery Wisper for the sheep so they'll be wooly:


Before I started this, I did finish the second model and am waiting to hear it's been approved, and I spent last Thursday finishing Pepper's ornament for my friend:




And here's the real Pepper in action:


For now, my plan is to keep working on Histoires; part 6 will come out in a couple of days and depending on how large it is I'm thinking I might be able to get caught up with the SAL before part 7 is released.

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week, and wishing a wonderful Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it! 🦃

    1. Isn't Pepper funny? My friend sent a video of him running around with the 🧻, looking very pleased with himself--a still picture can't really convey the cuteness as well as the video!

  2. PEPPER!!! I love it! What fabric is that stitched on? Such a beautiful grey.

    1. Thank you! The fabric is PTP Shale Belfast; it has a touch more pinkish tone to it than the photos show--it's pretty similar to the DMC 452 used in the design.

    2. Thank you! I think I may have some Shale but it's a pretty old piece of Cashel and it's not that dark.
