31 done, including the over 1

From 21 squares done to 31 done, not to bad on the progress. I've gotten it out to the right side and bottom edge (excluding the border that goes all around it) so instead of 60 squares left, I'm down to 50. While 81 squares in total sounds like a lot to do, many (like the letters and numbers) go quick, so it isn't as intimidating as it would be if they were all solid stitches. I've made a couple small counting errors in some of the squares. However, given they are all different and there are so many squares in total, for the most part I've left them. For example, the little black bird should have started down one more row from the top, so to fix it I just gave him longer legs. Trick or treat the r in treat was one off (doesn't match r in trick), but that is over 1 stitching. It was close enough for me, as I didn't notice till I was finishing the last t in treat, and frogging over one on 32 ct. unless it was major was just not going to happen. I love the look of over 1, but don't do it much as I have a hard time seeing it and keeping the threads from slipping under. Overall I was pretty pleased with how Trick or Treat turned out, so figured no one would ever really notice the difference with all the other squares and everything that is going on in the design.

Although we don't have a set time to work on our SAL, my DSIL and I are keeping pretty close in where we are at. Kim has about 29 squares done on her Luck, Letters, and Leprechauns and some of the border.

So how many of you have been following the new Nashville releases? What's on your wish list? I've decided I'll need It's Cold Outside from Blue Ribbon Designs (the little penguins are so cute) Polar Quakers from The Workbasket (the penguin in this is adorable too, hmm usually it's Halloween but I seem to have a penguin theme going this time) and Quaker Gone Tropic by Michelle Ink (I love the colors and fun motifs). I've already gotten the first three of the LK Halloween Flipits, so of course when the rest in the series comes out I'll need to grab them.

Hope everyone is staying warm. Our lovely warmer weather has left, but pushing 60 in February really was to good to last. We've got the snow and cold back. They forecasted only 1-2 inches for our area, but as usual the forecast was slightly off, try at least 6 inches. Oh well, at least the sun is out today, so that's a plus, somehow things always seem better when it is sunny.
