Crazy January Challenge 2012 - Day One

Today was Day One of the Crazy January Challenge 2012.

My start today was The Home of a Needleworker (Too!) by Little House Needleworks. I am stitching it on 36ct Flax Edinborough Linen with the Crescent Colour threads listed on the chart.

I already have the first Home of the Needleworker in my pile of WIPs. It would be great if I managed to finish both of them this year.

I did some stitching on a couple of pieces for two exchanges I am currently participating in so I can't show them right now. One of them falls into this here month's theme for Theme-a-licious and the other works into the next challenge at Christmas Ornament Challenge 2011.

I am also joining Elaine in stitching Christmas ornaments throughout the year. She has set up a new blog for this and you can find it here. This month's theme is Santa Claus. This is the chart I will be stitching (it was already on my list for the CJC 2012.)

It is a design by Sandra Sullivan called Santa, Please Bring Me.... (2008 Santa Ornament). I am stitching it on a leftover piece of 28ct earth tone mottled fabric I had in my stash using DMC, WDW and CC floss.

Besides cross stitching today, I also knitted the first 20 rows in the January dishcloth in the KAL at Monthly Dishcloths (Knit-A-Long). I am hoping to keep up with the KALs this year and have 24 cloths finished by December.

I wish you all the best in 2012 and hope you all have a great year stitching!!!!

Take care!
