Butterfly Alphabet SAL

Posted on July 13, 2025 by craftycreeky

I’ve made good progress with this embroidery over the last three weeks, mainly because it’s been my main project in the evenings. I’m still busy with the never-ending decorating so I haven’t done much else but my OH and I have got into a routine that if we’re busy doing our own thing early evening then at 9pm we both head to the lounge, watch a bit of TV etc before bed. This project is kept in the lounge in my workbasket so I can easily pick it up to do a bit.

Three weeks ago I had just past the half way point with the letter N embroidered…

Well I’m now within sight of a happy dance! I’ve embroidered the whole of the next row and I’ve just got the last four letters to embroider! I’m sure you can tell from my progress that I’m enjoying embroidering this DMC kit.

I photographed it this time in our conservatory in bright sunlight, it’s interesting to see how its captured the slightly raised contours of the satin stitch.

I’m already thinking about what my next SAL project is going to be!

About craftycreeky

I live in a busy market town in Yorkshire with my husband, kids, dogs and chickens. I love trying new crafts, rediscovering old ones, gardening, walking...anything creative really I started this blog after my New Year resolution worked so well. My resolution (the first one I've ever kept!) was to post a photograph of my garden on Facebook every day. My hope was that I would then see what was good in the garden and not just weeds and work, which was my tendency. The unexpected side-effect was that I have enjoyed many more hours in the garden. I am hoping that 'The Crafty Creek' will have the same effect. Happy creating!

    I can definitely feel a Happy Dance coming on if you can stitch at the same pace this time.
