Monthly Christmas ornament SAL (updated)
NOTE TO EVERYONE: Please read the updates on the Ornament blog if you're having trouble. Blogger and Beta Blogger are causing chaos with the team membership thing. Sorry everyone. I thought a blog would be nice and easy for everyone to join! HaHa - or should that be HoHo?!
Also, I need your email address to send an invite. Chris - email me and I'll send an invite. My email is back in my profile - thanks Chelle for pointing out it had vanished since my upgrade!
Christmas is nearly here and I've realised that trying to do all my Christmas stitching in two weeks isn't a great idea! So Anne and I are organising a monthly Christmas ornament SAL for next year.
The idea is to stitch one ornament each month, so at the end of the year we'll have lots of pretties to give as gifts or put on trees. We'll stitch on the fourth weekend of each month (by popular demand!)
If you'd be interested, let one of us know. You wouldn't have to stitch each month of course. Or finish an ornament each time. It'd just be a fun way of getting some Christmas ornaments stitched through the year and relieving the pre-Christmas rush!
I've also set up a blog for us to share pictures of the SAL when we get going. Anyone can comment of course, but if you'd like to be able to post pictures let me know and I'll send you a member invite. I'll need your email address.
I'll leave you with a photo of our wood-burning stove decorated for Christmas. I think we need bigger stockings - Santa's not going to fit much in these!

It sounds like a great idea. I'd love to join in - though I doubt that every month will actually happen for me!
ReplyDeleteI definitly love to join. I have a ton or ornies I want to stitch...especially my name trees:)
ReplyDeleteI certainly like the idea. Do keep me in mind and I'll see where I'm up to when it's time to start.
ReplyDeleteYou could probably squeeze a diamond or two into those stockings!? :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to join you in the SAL (when I can fit it in around the ever growing pile of Chatelaine projects). I'd be a fourth weekend of the month player too.
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I had already been thinking that doing one ornie a month was the way to go and SALs are so much fun. I have no preferance to what weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh at the size of those stockings...lol...as some-one said you will get diamonds in them which wouldn't be so bad, not much stash tho!!
ReplyDeleteCount me in the Ornie SAL! I didn't get any ornies stitched this year :-(
ReplyDeleteBut I think really you need to work on bigger stockings for yourselves!
I would love to join you!!
ReplyDeletei would consider it definatley... i will email you..
ReplyDeleteand i think a few pandora charms would certainly fit in those stockings ;)
Heehee, your Christmas stockings crack me up ... perhaps if Santa can't come up with a couple of diamonds, you might get one or two #28 Piecemaker needles in it (out of the packet) LOL :D Thanks for starting the ball rolling with the ornie SAL - I've just added the same info to my blog too :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to join your SAL, if you accept me as a member, because my English is very bad and my blog is in German.
ReplyDeleteGreatings, Barbara
Sign me up! I *may* skip the January weekend because I have 3 exchanges due the 31st. I'd like to have a lot of ornaments done for next year :) My email is bunnyhead5000 (at) comcast (dot) net. Cindy
ReplyDeleteSign me up for the SAL Nicki.
ReplyDeleteI did one on another board this year and it's been great fun.
I'd like to join as well. There are so many ornaments I want to stitch. 4th week-end of the month would be great. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be joining in with your SAL Nicki, have already got a list started for 2007,hee hee.
ReplyDeleteLove your cute bitsy stockings, lol.
I's like to join the ornament SAL, too! I was thinking about it (the stitching ornament frenzy at the end of the year) today and thought something like this would be a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join the ornament SAL too. Maybe then I'd actually do some ornaments!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the blog?
I would love to join the ornament SAL you are starting and the 4th weekend of each month sounds good to me. You can send to cj7326(at)cox(dot)net. Happy Stitching, CJ
ReplyDeleteI'd like to join in too--hopefully it will keep me motivated to get a bunch of ornaments done before next Christmas.
ReplyDeleteCount me in too ! I'll try to keep up with the rest of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding me Nicki - I am really looking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join in the Ornament SAL too.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicki - since you went to Beta Blogger, I cannot access the SAL blog at all... it is greyed out for me :-( Oh well... I will update in my own blog?
ReplyDeleteI'm up for this SAL, I didn't get any ornies stitched this year so have had to do a lot of deadline stitching this christmas, something I'd like to avoid next year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'd love to join you.
ReplyDeleteHope you're lucky enough to get your stockings filled.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone join your monthly ornament stitch?
Chris
Hi Nicki! Yes, it is me! I can't find your email address in your profile. I suspect this is a Blogger vs Beta Blogger thing. I had to sign in with my Google account to comment here so that is why there is no link back to my blog. I haven't migrated yet! Ack! Anyway, here is my email addy with a few spaces added toadlilymo @ yahoo.com I'm looking forward to the SAL. Thanks! 'Chelle
ReplyDeleteHi Nicki,
ReplyDeleteCan I join in please? Or am I too late.. I do hope I'm not.. This is definately something I would be interested in doing each month :)
*Hugs*
Count me in too! Thanks!
