Day 51, 52 & 53: DUCJC2015 & IHSW

Busy, busy weekend.

I continued on with Debbie's Ultimate Crazy January Challenge 2015 (DUCJC2015) which tied in nicely with the International Hermit & Stitch Weekend (IHSW).

On Friday night (Day 51) I worked on Main Street Station, the 2nd chart in the LHN Hometown Holiday Series.

On Saturday (Day 52) I pulled out another LHN design - Patience - Little Sheep Virtues #7.

I also managed to finish up a couple of more Christmas Ornaments:

(Just noticed but the first picture is a truer depiction of the fabric colour.)

I am very happy with what I managed to get done this weekend and very excited that we are now in the homestretch of the DUCJC2015 - just 6 more starts to go. For the rest of the week I will be working on the LHN Little Sheep Virtues and on Saturday I will be starting a Lizzie*Kate Halloween freebie called All Hallows Eve.

Take care and happy stitching!!!

Thank you for visiting!!!!!

Day 31: DUCJC2015

It has been a long and busy day, but I managed another start (and finish) today. It is a freebie by Lynn B - February Valentine Mini Cat.

I love Lynn B's mini cats and look forward to stitching the rest of the months plus her latest Christmas ones.

Tomorrow I will be pulling out another WIP/UFO - HAED's To Many Books, So Little Time (mini).

My intention until the February is to work on at least one WIP/UFO each weekend. The rest of the time will be probably be new starts.

Take care and happy stitching.

Thank you for visiting!!!!!

Time to check-in!!!!

I don't know where the time has gone. All I know is that I haven't posted in quite awhile. Part of the reason for this is that I decided to do more exercising which has naturally eaten into my stitching time. Not that I am complaining. It was something I really needed to do. The looooooooooooong winter was really getting to me and getting more active really lifted my mood. Another benefit was to my left knee. It was starting to give me pain and going up and down stairs was difficult but just after a week of using my stationary bike the pain had almost disappeared.

But now to my stitching.

I have managed a few small finishes.

and finally (an UFO from 2013).

I missed the WIPocalypse check-in on April 15th so here is my laaaaaaaaaaaaate report. As I mentioned above I finished the Little Sheep Virtue - Peace. I still need to finish the back stitching on the 3rd Bear from Beary Merry Christmas and I made some progress on the Little Sheep Virtue - Simplicity.

I also pulled out a couple of UFOs from previous years and added a few more stitches to each.

It's Berry Time - Blackbird Designs - Loose Feathers Pattern 37

Home of a Needlework - Little House Needleworks

and I started on the 2nd part of Just Nan/Charland Designs - Side by Side.

Last month's Wipocalypse topic was How do you keep your stash organized? The organization of my stash is currently a work in progress. I have a craft room that I am currently reorganizing. It is in a real upheaval right now so no pics. I have 4 or 5 binders in which I keep all the freebies I have accumulated over the years, full size leaftlets are stored in plastic file boxes and small charts and kits are stored in basket. I have other storage boxes with fabrics, ribbons and trims, buttons and charms. Floss is either stored in floss boxes, plastic baggies or hanging on peg board. When I have completed the reorganization I will post a pic. Below is a pic of some of sorting that I had on my DR table before Easter.
