Crazy flu challenge.....

This past week was the "crazy flu challenge" where you don't stitch at all for five straight days. 

I rejoined the living on Friday and made up

for my lost stitching time this weekend. 

First... I needed some LK therapy and

stitched this cutie .....

LK "Where's the Party"

30ct WDW Guacamole

I plan to make this into a little pillow and

will use the fabric shown.  I love the WDW

fabric and have some extra that probably

won't last too long! 

I did make some substitutions

(GA Midnight Sky, WDW Hunter) 

for the greens since the called for colors

(WDW Holly, Envy) were a little

harsh for my taste.  I also swapped the

red (GA Buckeye Scarlet) to

better match the backing fabric. 

I still need to add the little gold beads around

the boots but hope to get this one sewn

up this next weekend.

I then reached into my

"Big O' Bag of Challenge" 

and brought out this beauty to stitch....

 CHS "Her Sampler"

I will say this one looks so much better
stitched...the pic on the design just doesn't
do it justice.  It may also be the Buttercream linen, which is just luscious with this color
palette.   If you have this one languishing in your stash, you need to pull it out and stitch it! 
You won't be disappointed. 

I think I will stick with this one this week since
I can most likely finish it and put a check by
one of my challenge pieces.

Pork Chop was definitely feeling lonely this week

and decided last night he had been ignored

long enough and would take matters into his own

"paws".  I share with the "look" I got when I asked him to kindly remove himself from in front of the computer screen....

He's still cute even when he's mad...

I'm looking like this too about now as I psych myself up for work tomorrow....ugh!
