 I've met my goal for Alice Bierton by Samplers Remembered with 522 stitches.

The 56 ct linen is a challenge but I enjoyed those stitches.

Pour Ta Fete from Lindsay Lane Designs is out next.

 I've met my goal for Sarah Elizabeth Brooke with 579 stitches.

I almost kept going with the border of this one but there are other WIPs to visit.  Maybe I'll make it back to visit this one again this year.

Alice Bierton from Samplers Remembered is out next.

 I've met my goal for Ann Roberts with 544 stitches.

She's a much smaller sampler than I thought she was, or, she appears that way since she's on 46 count linen.

Sarah Elizabeth Brook from The Scarlett House is up next.

 I added more stitches to Steampunk Portal yesterday, then had to switch to another project.  Here's where it currently sits with 408 tent/204 full x stitches than it had last time it was out.

It looks awesome in the photo.  I just wish I was more inclined to stitch on it.

The Castle from Teresa Wentzler came out next and I've met my goal for it with 522 stitches.  

It was kind of iffy there for a while too.  But I think adding some of the greens instead of more wall colors helped move things along.  I'd like to revisit this one again this year to move it along.  It's been over 20 years since Mother Nature decided I didn't need the first one I stitched.  I'd like to get this one complete.

Ann Roberts from HATS is out next.  I think I've decided to add some border which is just two colors.

 I didn't reach my August goal for Sea Witch last night as I'd hoped but I did meet it this morning.

Here she is with an additional 1204 tent stitches/602 full x stitches and 38.73% complete.

I'm hoping to have page 15 finished in September but it may be October.  Page 16 may yet be this year as well since a good bit of the black that I'm stitching on page 15 is on page 16 up to the dragon's jaw so it's being stitched at the same time.

I've pulled out Steampunk Portal, HAED's 2025 SAL to make some progress andI'm not really feeling all the confetti.  I'm going to pull another color or two and see if that changes, but that may be coming off the qsnaps in favor of another WIP.

 I completed August's goal for Her Private Garden last night with 1346 tent/673 full x stitches and 5.66% complete.

Sea Witch is out now and may see her August goal met tonight.

 I've met my August goal for Warrior Alice with page 26 and 2296 tent/1148 full x stitches.

Her Private Garden is out next.
