First stitching in 2012....


Unfortunately, I began my new year under
the weather but was able to do some
stitching for my Crazy Challenge.

Day 1.....

 La D Da "In the Sweet"
stitched on 40ct Lakeside Linen
w/ DMC

This is the sweetest design and I should be
able to finish this one up pretty quickly.

Day 2.....

CHS "Matter's Choice"
stitched on 35ct. straw
w/DMC

I have loved this one from the first time I saw it. 
I really struggled with whether to stitch in
blue or red.  I decided to go with DMC 3750
but still envision this one in red. 
There is a smaller sampler included and
think I will do that one in red.

I picked up one of the LK Inspirational Boxer kits
last week at my LNS sale and decided
I just had to stitch it. 

LK "We Can Do"
stitched w/DMC

I didn't have the suggested thread so decided to
use the DMC conversion.  I actually finished
the stitching on New Year's Eve and was
able to do the finishing on New Year's Day. 
I really like how it turned out and will
have this on displayed in my office at work.  
This is a message I need to read
frequently each day!

Looks like many stitchers are already off to a
good stitchy start in this new year! 
I do hope you are one of them....
happy stitching.
