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....

12 exchanges

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!
