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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 11 & 12 - Crazy January Challenge 2011

I was too tired last night to do a post, so before it gets to late and I get another day behind I going to stop stitching and start posting. As I mentioned the other day I will be stitching the LHN's 2010 Ornaments of the Month for the rest of the challenge. Yesterday I worked on the "Red House in Winter". I didn't get as much done as I would of like. I think I spent too much time on the internet.

Today I stitched on the "The Merry Skater". I stayed away from the computer and made pretty good progress on it, if I do say so myself.


The challenge is coming to an end soon (3 more days) and I really enjoyed participating in it. I pulled out a few charts that have waiting for ages to be started and I am really happy about that. It is going to be a fantastic stitching year. Right!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for all your lovely comments. It's nice to know I am not just talking to myself at times : D.

Take care and happy stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 10 - Crazy January Challenge 2011

Last nights start was "Joy to the World" by Little House Needleworks. I had to attend a Girl Guide meeting last night so I didn't have too much time to stitch. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I want to complete the rest of the 2010 Ornament of Month this year so for the next 5 days the remaining charts from this series will be my starts for this challenge. Today I am stitching on the "Red House in the Winter" and tomorrow I will be starting "The Merry Skater".


Well, I want to get back to stitching now. So till later, happy stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And thanks again for visiting.

Take care!

Day 9 - Crazy January Challenge 2011

Last night I said it was going to be a busy day. Well, in fact, it turned out to be a lazy pajama day. All I did was stitch and watch old movies on TCM. (And take down my Nutcracker Christmas tree.)

My SIL and her family were suppose to come over at 11:00 am for brunch but we had to cancel. There was a water leak on our street and we were without running water from around 9:00 Saturday evening until about 3:00 this afternoon. Since we couldn't take a shower and the thought of 8 people in a house without a flushing toilet didn't sound like a good idea we decided to reschedule the brunch. The city set up a water supply trailer across the street from us so we at least had access to water for our morning coffee and to wash up.

My "crazy" start for today was LHN's Winter Sheep - one of the 2010 Ornament of the Months. I finished 4 last year and I hope to finish the rest this year. I absolutely love LHN's designs and I have already signed for an automatic shipment of the 2011 Ornaments. I have almost finished it. If I wasn't so tired I probably would have completed it today.


Thank you for dropping by and for all your wonderful comments.

Take care and Happy Stitching!!!
