Crazy Challenge update....

Well...work was crazy too this week and I was just too lazy to post pics of my starts each night...... but I did have 4 more starts!

Crazy Day 5...

Goode Huswife "The Bird Tree"
32ct. Belfast linen
w/DMC

Crazy Day 6...
CHS "Americana"
32ct. Lakeside Linen Buttercream
w/DMC

Crazy Day 7...
CHS "Her Sampler"
32ct. Lakeside Linen Buttercream
w/DMC

Crazy Day 8...
BBD "Moon Garden"
30ct R&R 18th Century Rook
w/ ST & WDW

I certainly picked a lot of charts with birds, trees, vines, etc... can't believe I didn't notice it when I chose my designs.  Oh well...I'm off to enjoy some of Mom's Vegetable Soup and then to stitch some more on Moon Garden.  We are supposed to get some wintery weather tomorrow night and it has certainly been cold and windy today.  I think tomorrow will be another good stitchy day too!

  3. They will all be beautiful when you finish them. Snowy days are great days to stay in and stitch. We are supposed to get more snow later this week. Therefore, I made sure I am thoroughly stocked up on stitchy items this weekend :0)

  7. Those are an amazing group of starts! I can't wait to watch them grow after the first 15 days. Will you keep working on them in the same order after the 15 days?

  15. All wonderful starts Karen. I am preparing to hunker down for the snow - it didn't happen like they said it would Friday so who knows? This one might blow past as well.

  17. Nice projects. Buttercream LL--my favorite. And I think you're smart to consolidate your entries--I'm going to be glad to stop posting every day and just stitch.

  19. I love your 'themes'...commoness is a good thing, especially when making wall groupings of wonderful framed pieces!:)

    You certainly have a wonderful selection..I am also stitching Her Sampler by CHS...I worked on it today and hope to finish it up soon!

  24. Great starts and lovely charts! I love the Moon Garden! I haven't seen it before and I think I just have to add it to my must-get-these list. :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh great, your new starts. They are exactly my cup of tea, too. I also chose many charts with trees, birds and houses, in fact, all of my choices have at least one of these motifs, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yes, I do see a theme! Great choices

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love your choices! ...and a lovely start!!!

  29. Each and every one is a beauty, Karen! I have Americana in my stash and should really add that to my "must stitch" list for the year.

    Hope work calms down and you get more stitching time this coming week :)

  30. I thought you must be overworked and understitched! Love your choices - seems we do collect in themes, don't we? Now you've got your stitching stocked, so don't forget your eggs, milk, and chocolate!! Stay warm, and Happy Stitching!

    ReplyDelete
  31. what wonderful choices! Great starts to all of them. I love all your choices so far, but I must admit my favourite are the BBD's

    ReplyDelete
  32. Isn't it funny that the charts all seem so similar once you start stitching them all? I'm finding that as well, and can't believe I didn't notice earlier! Great work, I especially love Her Sampler!

    ReplyDelete
  33. love the choices you have made

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh, do I love all the projects that you picked!! I can't wait to see them finished!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Well done - they are all lovely. Thanks for sharing your progress on this fun challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Lovely choices. I take my hat off to all you doing the 15 challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  37. LOL did you pick a theme of green for all of those? It looks like that's the one colour you've stitched with in all those projects!

    ReplyDelete
  38. You made some wonderful starts. Can't wait to see how they progress. Take care!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Love all your new starts:))) Can't wait to see your progress on them.

    Hope you have a better week at work this week.

  40. Even if it was an unexpected theme, it certainly is a good one to have :) I love all of your new starts, but I think Moon Garden is my favourite. Happy stitching to you.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Such beautiful charts you have chosen Karen. Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Love, Love, Love your choices, Karen! They are all Beautiful and either in my stash chest to stitch or on my Wish List... can't wait to follow your progress!

    It's been a snowy day for us today and still falling...

    Wishing you much love and joy, glad tidings and good cheer, a cosy warm hearth and blessings abounding... and many a heartfelt hour of peaceful stitching thyme in the New Year!

    Heartfelt blessings always in stitches...

  43. You've been busy, I see! I'll bet with the snow you got lots of stitching done today?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Oh my goodness, what fabulous choices, Karen! I see many that I have considered and now am reconsidering, having seen them in your pictures! It has been SO hard to choose just 15. I could go for about 45 more choices and still be dithering on what to choose! LOL I like the idea of the red samplers for your kitchen, too. Great idea! I'm looking around my kitchen and trying to think of what I could do in mine. Hmmmm.

    Stay nice and warm! Hunker down and stitch to keep warm. ;)
