I have a love/hate relationship
with this Challenge.
I love it because I am finally stitching
some wonderful designs that have been
languishing in my stash for years.
I hate it because I have seen the
wonderful designs y'all have started and
I want to stitch many of them now!
Anyone else having this problem????

I am off to get ready for Downton Abbey tonight.
I don't want to miss a minute so I need to
get situated in my stitchy chair.
As always...thanks for visiting.
Happy stitching!
LOL, Well see, now, I want to stitch the pieces you've just started! I'd not seen any of them before and they're all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis Crazy 15 is a bad, bad idea!
Keep up the great work - enjoy Downton Abbey :)
Karen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of projects! Can't wait to see what's next!!!

Yep! It took me a week to decide on my list of 10 designs to focus on in 2012. Seeing all those lovely stitched designs on blogs confused me no end.
ReplyDeleteKaren, great starts. I am amazed at how much of each design you have stitched already. I futz around so much when starting a new project that it takes me says to see any progress. Marty
ReplyDeleteyou have started some wonderful designs with this challenge! cant wait to see the rest =D
ReplyDeleteWill be fun watching your challenges grow this year.
ReplyDeleteYou picked some.really great projects wow!
ReplyDeleteGreat new starts. You have some lovely projects on the go.
ReplyDeletewonderful choice of new starts! I love all of them, and lucky enough have a few in my stash!
ReplyDeleteThat Three Crows is one of my favourite, but sadly that one eludes me as I've been trying to get it but no luck yet!
Enjoy all your new starts, I know I'll enjoy seeing all your progress, and yes, I'm in the same boat in that I would love to start all the wonderful projects I've been seeing on everyone's blogs!
Great choice of charts and a great new start too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteyou have made a good start with all your projects. Enjoy the programme. it is my favoutite also
ReplyDeletex catherine
Wonderful choice! The design which are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'm not doing the challenge, but I can see how this would be a problem. Of course, as long as you enjoy what you're doing, that's all that matters!! Grats on the great amount of progress you've made!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm doing the Challenge and yes I'm stitching things that have been kitted up for years but I see your BBD 'Tis the Season and I want to drop everything and stitch that! BTW, is 'Tis the Season in a BBD book and if so, which one is it? I've looked all over for it as a stand-alone chart and can't find it. I really like your choices for the Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your crazy challenge starts but especially Olga! She is on my stitch list for this year too :)
ReplyDeleteDownton Abbey was wonderful, you will enjoy every minute of it!
All fun projects!!! And seeing what everyone else is stitching always gets me inspired to add new projects to my basket, LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! I love all of your starts! I can't wait to see your progress on each. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure you enjoyed Downton--it was such a great season! I'm glad they'll show a third season!
I love all your starts. Personally, it would drive me crazy having all those WIPs but that's just how I roll. LOL
ReplyDeleteKaren --
ReplyDeleteAll your starts look wonderful and makes me want to go pull out some of my old charts now:)
Awesome starts on these designs...and you're right - they make you want to do more.
ReplyDeleteSaw DA - my my...think the second season might actually be just as good or even better than the first. I just hate the evil Thomas and O'Brien, though!
Karen,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have some great starts!
Great choice of designs for the new starts.
ReplyDeleteI shall look forward to watching your progress.
Love Downton Abbey and am sad that series 2 has finished.
Margaret
