And Another one is done!

I finished this up earlier today. I am now down to 7 Crazy January Challenge 2011 pieces that I still need to complete.

It feels good getting another done. Especially since I have joined the 2012 Challenge. I spent part of the morning going through my stash looking for patterns to start. I have picked 5 so far. I am hoping to have all 15 listed by the end of the weekend.

We are going out now for dinner and then to see my DH's cousins band perform at a local club.

Take care and Happy Stitching.

Getting Ready for 2012

In preparation for my 2012 stitching I have joined the following SALs:

Crazy January Challenge 2012
Theme-a-licious 2012
WIPocalypse

2012 could be very interesting.  I spent part of the evening looking through my stash to see what I would like to stitch (so many choices) and then I put a few stitches into the Merry Moose and Frosty Flakes

I have set up pages for each of the SALs and I plan to making a list for each of them over the weekend.

Goodnight all and happy stitching!!!!

Another Crazy January Challenge 2011 Project Completed

I managed to finish another project I started during the Crazy January Challenge 2011. It is another Ornament of the Month design from Little House Needleworks - Joy to the World.

That is 7 down, 8 more to go.

The next challenge piece I will be working is Frosty Flakes - another LHN ornament of the month design.  It is the last of the 2010 ornaments I have left to stitch, then I can start on the 2011s. (I know, it's about time!)

I also put the finishing touches on a Humbug I stitched up a couple of weeks ago.  You can find the chart here along with a lot of other nice ones.

As soon as I finish this post I going to finish the Windows of Faith, Hope and Peace. I just need to stitch the word FAITH and the border which I think I will partially do with beads.

I also plan to finish the backstitching on Witchy Boot so that I can finish it into a decorative pillow.

I hope you are all having a great weekend (can't complain about mine so far). Take care and happy stitching!!!!!

Day 13, 14, & 15 - Crazy January Challenge 2011

Well, it is Day 15 and here are my starts for the last 3 days.

Day 13 - LHN 2010 Ornament of the Month - Frosty Flakes. I was rather tired that day so I didn't get much stitched.



Day 14 - LHN 2010 Ornament of the Month - Under The Tree. We were able to leave work early on Friday so I managed to get a good start on this one. I also managed to finally take down my tree in the living room and packing away the ornaments. Tomorrow I will be packing my Nutcrackers and the house will back to normal until next Christmas.



Day 15 - LHN 2010 Ornament of the Month - All is Calm. Not a bad start on this one either. I didn't start on it until late this afternoon. I spent most of the morning reading Lee Child's 61 Hours and then I had a bit of housework and laundry to do. I was reading 61 Hours before going to sleep last night and just hit the exciting part so when I woke up this morning I couldn't do anything else until I finished the book.



Now comes the next fun part of this challenge. Trying to get all these wonderful new starts finished this year. Based on my track record that will be a challenge and a half.

Thank you for all for your wonderful supportive comments during this challenge. I really appreciated them.

I will try to post at least once a week with progress on these projects.

Take care and Happy Stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
