Day 8...

My project for today is another spring design, Just Nan's Dewdrop. Another day to stitch spring colors!

We have Saturday things planned for today - a family baby shower luncheon and a shopping trip afterward. Not sure how much time I'll have to stitch, but I think this one will move right along.

Day 7...

Today is a "me" day! My darling daughter is off to school and my husband is at a farm outing with friends. I ran all the errands that I had planned to do today, yesterday afternoon. So, I have the day to stitch. My project for today is Country Cottage Needleworks Joyful Summer. With all the snow on the ground, it's time to stitch some pretty, spring colors.

Day 6....

Today's project is a fun one - Lizzie Kate's Jolly Holiday. I love the colors. The colors aren't traditional Christmas, but so fun to stitch. I'm also loving that as soon as this one is stitched, it will be finished-finished because I bought the Stitch-A-Gift banner that it's shown in.


Here's the photo that wouldn't upload yesterday. Bent Creek's Giving Thanks Zipper before I started it.


This afternoon included a trip to my LNS. I needed a thread for today's project and the threads for a couple later projects.

We're getting snow today and it's suppose to continue to snow through the weekend. Perfect weather to stay inside with a cup of tea and stitch.

Day 5...

Sorry, this is going to be a picture-less post. Blogger isn't cooperating, and I've had a headache all day, and my computer isn't helping the situation. I started an older Bent Creek Zipper - Giving Thanks today. I love the autumn colors, and I've "planned" on stitching this one for years. I'm thinking that this will make a cute Thanksgiving decoration this year. It won't take too long to stitch, so there's plenty of time for it to be actually finished-finished by then.

I'll be back tomorrow with photos for day 5 and 6.

Happy Stitching!!

Day 4....

Before I share a photo of my day 4 project, here is a picture of yesterday's project. I really wanted to keep working on this one. It's still calling my name from my stitching basket.


My project for today is one that I've had for way too long. It was a special release (at least at that time) from Bent Creek. I don't know if it's still available or if it's been re-released. Here's Bent Creek's Noel.

It's the perfect day to work on Noel. We're getting snow today. The snow that we had all melted over the weekend, so it's looking more like winter than spring again.

Happy Stitching!

Day 3...

The project for today is a Christmas gift that I received from a dear friend. Heart In Hand's Wonderful Time of the Year. I love the pinks and greens in the design and the buttons are just too cute. It will look fabulous with my Christmas display.


Blogger isn't uploading pictures the greatest, once again, so I'll try later to post progress pictures of the first two days projects.

Today is a "me" day, so time to stitch before the school bus reappears at my house this afternoon.

Crazy January 2011 Challenge...Day 2...

My start for today is the first of 12 ornaments that I plan on stitching during this challenge. A few years ago, I stitched at least 12 ornaments during the year, but somehow I fell off that wagon. I'm planning on having 12 new ornaments hanging on my Christmas year in 2011. My first ornament was an easy choice - Lizzie Kate's Last Minute December Kit. I had to resist stitching it last month, it's so cute!


Not much time for posting today. It's my birthday!!
