I'm here to publicly blame Tiffstitches. She had the nerve to post a WIP photo of a new SAL she joined. It's through Lakeside Needlecraft and it's a pattern a month mystery SAL by Durene Jones. The theme....Under the Sea! So I was curious and got to poking around. The first month is a too cute little adorable Octopus sitting there begging to be stitched. I told myself I will wait and see what next month is before I jump in. I looked into Durene Jones and everything I see she has designed is just too cute. So more twisting of my arm. More dreams about that cute Octopus begging to be stitched. I glanced at the pieces of fabric I got for Christmas and one is just perfect for a home for that adorable Octopus that needs a home to live on. What did I do today? What did I do when I have a STACK of new projects that need started? What did I do when I have two tubs of WIPs that need to be worked on? I bought the SAL!!! See it's all Tiffstitches fault.
(Thank you Tiffstitches! I really look forward to working on that cute little Octopus and can't wait to see what's next. Now I'm waiting to receive the emails and get everything ready to start.)
If you're on Instagram search the tag #undertheseasal to see some other people's stitching on this...

Hee hee.....can't blame you....Durene's designs are gorgeous!
I've seen the SAL too but have so far kept temptation at bay. Perhaps I'll change my mind when I've seen them started by you and Tiff. Can't wait!! What with resisting that one the Dragon Birthstones SAL I'm being a very good girl this year. Can't imagine what's got into me!! ;)
:) I feel no guilt. When I started it, all I could think of was "I bet Katie would like this one". :)
Katie you had to stitch this one, it's right up your street!
Lol, love this post!!! Blame Tiff, of course! Any excuse!! :D
I don't blame you for joining the fun, it is another design that is so you. I had a look at the octopus and it really look lovely. Now, I'm curious to see your work and what will be coming out next!
But Katie, it's the perfect SAL for you. Looking forward to seeing it.
Go girl!! That octopus is so darn cute.... I won't tell you that Lakeside Needlecraft are planning another mystery SAL with insects - different designer though I think! Danger Will Robinson!
Enjoy!

Durene's designs are cute! I am stitching a big project 'height chart ' designed by her.
Haha, as if you need any convincing. Thanks to Tiffstitch we'll be seeing more of this fab SAL. 👍
Isn't that theme absolutely perfect for you? :)
The prefect design for you to stitch. Looking forward to seeing it grow.
I've seen that one too and love it! I need to finish some others pieces before starting another one though.
Dang it tiff! lol I saw that too and thought he was adorable! I'm looking forward to your progress!
