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:

Pouty Owl © 2013 Stoney Creek Collection,Inc.

Mini Christmas Stocking Cat © Lynn B 

And finally today (Day 53) I worked on another UFO/WIP - Monopoly © 1984 Parker Brothers, Inc (C&L Crafts & Co.)

(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!!!!!

 

Crazy January Challenge 2012 - Day Twenty, Twenty-one and Twenty-two and other things

Day Twenty:

On Friday I worked on Monopoly. This was a chart that I started last year for the Crazy January Challenge.

This is how far I got last year.

This is what I managed to do on Friday.

Day Twenty-one:

Yesterday's start was the last of the Hearts of Canada I have left to do - Ontario.

Day Twenty-Two:

Today I pulled out another WIP from last year's CJC. This one is Becky Boo's "Let it Snow". I managed to finished the stitching on the first of 4 snowmen.

But first this is how far I got last year.

And this is today's progress.

From now until the 31st I will be working on WIPs.  Tomorrow it  will be the Nutcracker Christmas stocking by X's and Oh's.

The following are the 2 dishcloths I stitched this month through the Monthly Dishcloths (Knit-A-Long)
Yahoo Group.

It was the IHS Weekend  and besides the stitching I did for the CJC 2012 I also managed to finish up 3 of my previous starts.  It was a good weekend for IHSW.  Since I have a cold, I wasn't going anywhere.  Sleeping, stitching and reading was all I wanted to do.

Designs:  Hearts of Canada - Yukon Territory, Saskatchewan and Nunavut Territory

Designer:  The Victoria Sampler

Fabric: 25ct Lugana Antique White

Threads: DMC and Krenik #4 Braid

I also worked on a piece I am stitching for an exchange - no pics yet.

Well, that is all for now.  I hope you all had a good weekend.  Take care and happy stitching!!!!

Day 3 - Crazy January Challenge 2011

It is time to pack it in and get ready for bed. I have been stitching most of the evening. (Took a little time out to clean up the kitchen and I did go on the stationary bike for 20 minutes.)

Today I stitched on the Monopoly board. This is a pattern I won on Ebay and have wanted to start stitching for quite some time. I have fond memories of playing this game while growing up. I think it will be fun stitching this.

Here is a pic of my progress as of 10 minutes ago.



Good night and Happy Stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
