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!

    This Crazy 15 is a bad, bad idea!

    Keep up the great work - enjoy Downton Abbey :)

    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.

    Karen, 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

    wonderful choice of new starts! I love all of them, and lucky enough have a few in my stash!

    That 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!

    LOL, 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!

    Yes, 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.

    Awesome starts on these designs...and you're right - they make you want to do more.
    Saw 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!
