Star Temperature SAL 2021 - November

Hi there!

Wow! I haven't had much time to write this blog recently as you had probably noticed! What with the Advent calendars to prepare, my November and December thread packs to dye and organise, the Winter fabric subscription to create, threads for Manucréa's new SAL and designing the 2022 Temperature SAL..oh yeh and keeping my home operational, family fed, clothes clean, elderly relatives looked after, xmas prezzie shopping done, admin changes to my business, accounts doing etc etc...It's hard sometimes to keep up and I had to let go of something to avoid explosion ( and I like to eat so it wasn't going to be that and unfortunately it was my writing.

This week my article is dedicated to the amazing work by some of the ladies in the 2021 Star Temperature SAL. They're amazing and so is their stitching! They all inspired me to give it a go! You'll find plenty of great photos below...

2021 Star SAL - November





The 2021 Star Temperature SAL started on the 1st January and we're now 382 participants in the group so far.. which is fantastic! 10 since this time last month and I welcome them warmly.
The majority of the members are stitching the Star SAL and they're looking great. Some other ladies are stitching the 2020 Tree of Love SAL with the 2021 temperatures and a few of my other SAL's too.

I'm enjoying watching all the stars come alive and the colours building everyday..there are some beautiful pieces of work growing.
Here are some of the finished November months:

November Pack + December Pack Contest!

 


Hi!

How has your week been? I hope that you're well and making the most of the crisp but sunny autumn weather to get out and soak in the beautiful autumn colours that are colouring our world at the moment? They make me feel alive and get me ready to cope with the colder temperatures of the winter months.

This past week I've been busy getting all the threads prepared for the two Advent Calendars ready to send out, packing all the threads in small envelopes and sticking numbered stickers on them.. all that and not getting them mixed up! It's A LOT of work but a lot of fun too.. and what motivates me is knowing that my calendar customers will have a lovely time opening each package everyday!

In today's article I'll be showing you the November pack photos, which is called ICE, and I'll also be launching THE contest not to miss! It's easy to take part in and you could win one month FREE in your new subscription!


November ICE Pack Photos

Now that most of the packs have arrived I wanted to share a few photos of the lovely colours I had the pleasure to dye, prepare and send to the lucky subscribed ladies..
This pretty icy pastel range was fun to choose and to dye as it sums up the colours of one of my favourite scarves from Liberty's for me and goes great with the colder month of November. I think it's a great range, don't you?
This month's present was an exclusive Liberty print stitching hoop made by Ruth at StitchKits Crafts or @happyhooplahoops on Instagram..it's really lovely and compliments the threads perfectly. My subscribers really loved this gift.

Birthday Month!

   

Hi there!
How are you this week? Thanks to the Tree of Love SAL, I've just realised that we are week 46/52 and I'm scratching my head asking myself where 2020 has gone?!
Am I the only one asking myself this? We've lived through a slow year because of confinement and I would've thought that the year would last for ever... but maybe it's better for everyone that it comes to an end.

This week I'm really busy hand dyeing and preparing the 2020 Advent calendars and I'm also organising the December pack for the monthly subscription. 
So today, I won't take up much of your time with a long article, and I'll be giving you all a gift!


Birthday Month
This week I'll be celebrating my birthday for the first and only (hopefully) time in confinement. To thank you for following me and your continuing support it is with pleasure that I'm gifting you this reduction code of -20% to be used on my website http://www.tometlilycreations.com up to the end of the month only.






Join me next week when I'll be launching the December thread pack and also a contest to win one month subscription for free for all new subscribers. I hope you have a great week full of sunshine and cross-stitches!

Happy stitching!
Melanie

This past week I've been busy dyeing threads to restock my boards because they're looking pretty empty (which is great) and they're filling up little by little!

I'll give away one of the colours from the November pack if you can guess what piece of clothing it is! Note your ideas in the comments under this article!!

I look forward to seeing what you can come up with..but till then here are some photos of the October pack tat I sent out earlier this month..I hope you like them?


HALLOWEEN Pack Photos

Now that most of the packs have arrived I wanted to share a few photos of the lovely colours I had the pleasure to dye, prepare and send to the lucky subscribed ladies..
This Halloween range was fun to choose and to dye as it sums up the colours of Halloween for me and goes great with the month of October. I think it's a great range, don't you?
This month's present was an exclusive hand painted thread from Adeline at CReAdeS along with a spidery free chart...

SAL Tree of Life 2019 - November + 2020 365 Temperature SAL!





Hi there!

It's the 5th of December and the beginning of the last month in this year of 2019 and of this decade!! Can you believe it!?
We have one month left together to finish our 2019 Temperature SAL..and although it's exciting to get to the end of a finish when stitching, it's also sad..because we won't be together anymore as a stitching team...but not for long as you'll find out in this article!

The end of November indicates that a new branch is complete in the SAL Tree of Life so this week I'll show you the progress pictures. We're pleased to welcome new participants from time to time and it is a pleasure! Our stitching SAL family is growing ...

I hope you're full of good energy and that you are ready to attack the last month of the decade ?!

Tree of Life SAL - November




Trees of Life from all over the world..All different and unique to each stitcher. Aren't they amazing?







2020 365 Temperature SAL

You know I said at the beginning of this article that it'd be sad to get the end of this SAL, but not for long...well that's because I've launched the 2020 SAL! The Tree of Love SAL is now available, and you can get all the information you need 
(there are quite a few different versions of the chart and some great thread packs to choose from if you wish) by following this link:
