So, a slightly late ORT report for April, I am afraid to say... (seems to be the story of my life, I am always apologising for late blog posts - lol!)
Anyway, here it is - travel ORTs on the left and home ORTs on the right.
... and here is the year so far....
If you want to check out everyone else's TUSAL reports for this month, just click on this link here.
Now for some updates on my stitching - this is all SAL blog related.
1. Kitten Stitching and the Friday Frolics ...
This Friday for my Frolicking, I went to my Girl's Nest and randomly put my hand on this WIP - Just Nan's "Frosty Hopes".
Here is the before pic:
The After FF pic - look Furio has snuck in somehow!
"Frosty Hopes" is a companion piece to "High Hopes", which I stitched in 2004 - oh, my goodness, that means I have had this piece in my UFO pile for 12 years now - Bad Kaye!
I am going to have to look for a third similar design, so that I can stitch one for Milo. I just looked at the Just Nan website and couldn't see anything suitable so if anyone has any good suggestions, I would be most grateful.
I am continuing to stitch on it over the weekend, so watch out for an update on Monday morning.
2. Americana SAL ...
One state down ... only 49 more to go! lol!
America, Land that we love
Jean Farish Designs
28 ct linen
Mainly the suggested DMC threads
Hopefully, I will finish Alaska tomorrow night (my next 'Merica Monday stitching night) and get started on the next "A" state - I think maybe it is Arizona but I could be wrong - I will let you know - are there any other "A" states? Not sure, but I think that I am going to know them all very well by the time I am done!
(Note: Just googled it and yes, Arizona is next but I forgot about the fourth "A" state - Arkansas!)
3. Tudor Tuesdays SAL ...
However, I am hopeful of a finish very soon...
Anyway, that's all for me now - heaps to do today.
Happy stitching everyone,
hugs,

Nice work on everything! Hope you have a good stitchy weekend.
Lovely stitching Kaye. I really really enjoyed stitching and I still miss working on it.

Haha! You are forgiven for not knowing the nifty 50. I am enjoying watching this piece grow. I think it was a freebie at one point and I had most of them saved from an archive site... but then found the pattern is now only available for sale! I felt it wrong to keep my collection and will live vicariously through you. Glad to see your furry friends sneaking into your pieces. :D
I'm always astonished at how much you manage to stitch. And everything is wonderful too.
Lovely - all of your pieces. And that scamp, Furio- he looks mischievous

Hi Kaye, so lovely stitching and ORTs! Happy stitching!
You have done plenty! And they all are looking great! Hugs!
You frequently traveled and embroider! It's wonderful!
Great work on these. The one with the States will be great for your general knowledge! I hope you are checking the location for each one as you go.
Love the look of both High Hopes and Frosty Hopes - yay for the addition of your kitties. I think you're right - after Alaska would be Arizona, then Arkansas. Henry is looking VERY kingly.
Beautiful stitch projects, Kaye! I love how you personalized the piece with the cat :) Hugs
It's dangerous to say something wrong about Henry, isn't it? But nice progress anyway. And the Americana piece has seen two new states as I already saw on the Americana blog. I think I should post my progress on this sampler as well but I always forget. Not good.
So nice to stitch the little Hope series for your cats. Maybe you should contact the designer to create a third design :))
Great stitching updates :)
Lovely progress I love how Alabama turned out! I'm excited to see Cali and Colorado :)
Lovely stitching! :D
