Crazy Challenge wrap up....

First, let me say I would have posted earlier but I got caught up watching "Extreme Couponing" on TLC.  Have you seen this?When the lady's grocery bill went from $630 to $2 after coupons, they got my attention.  Will be checking this out tomorrow!  Now back to stitching......

Day 13

Goode Huswife "In the Bee Man's Garden"
35ct WDW Linen

Day 14

With thy Needle "Snow Day"
25ct Lugana over one
w/DMC
Day 15

Drawn Thread "Real Roses"
32ct Belfast antique white

This is my "Big Girl" project. I saved it until the last day because all of the specialty stitches were intimidating.  I made it through the satin stitches and spider web stitches so I think I will be okay.

I have to say I have really enjoyed this challenge so far.  The thing I hate most about a project is starting!  I will usually skip over something just because I don't want to have to gather the supplies, figure out where to start, and then actually put the first stitch in.  Now that I have done that with 15 designs, the rest should be smooth sailing.  I haven't gotten too nervous yet and will not think about the 15 WIP I now have.  I do have to say I am missing my Lizzie Kate and such so I think I will have to throw a quickie in there this week to get my fix!

Thank you for visiting the past couple of weeks and I have truly enjoyed your comments.  I can't wait to see what everyone else started and plan to take a trip around blogland tomorrow to check them all out! The few I have seen have been so "enabling" and I have seen some beautiful designs that had eluded me somehow.  Will definitely have a wish list by the time I'm through.  

Hope you are having a great weekend, stay warm and...happy stitching!
