Crazy Challenge Day 1.....

Goode Huswife "The Tree of Life"
Stitched on 28ct linen w/DMC

I'm off and running with my first start!  Not much progress as we made a trip to Charlotte today but it is started none the less!  I really like this and it is an easy stitch so I know this one will be stitched quickly after the first 15 days have ended.  Not sure what I will pull out the big bag of challenge tomorrow....

Had a chance to stop at the Stitch & Frame in Rock Hill on our way to Charlotte and ran into fellow blogger Charlene ... it was great seeing another stitching friend.

A quick review of my 2010 stitching year reveals....

53 finishes
12 exchanges
36 ornaments

It will be interesting to see how well I will do with this Crazy Challenge....will probably have numerous WIPs this time next year too!

Hope your new year is off to a great start and happy stitching!

  2. Isn't it fun? I never would have been this ambitious about doing so much stitching if I didn't have this challenge to give me that nudge!

    Your start looks great!

  6. Congratulations on your very productive 2010! I know that you will do great on this Challenge, and I don't foresee a lot of WIP's at the end of the year.

    Since you have volunteered to nag me on my WIP's, I shall volunteer to cheer you on in this Challenge.

    I wish us both luck!!
