Day 12...

I wish that I had today as a "me" day. I know if I did, then this would be a start and a finish today. With everything that I have going on, it's not going to get much stitching time on it. Another Lizzie Kate project, C is For Cure. I saw this finished at my LNS, and had to kit it up including the Stitch-A-Gift banner. The threads, beautiful springy colors, match the banner perfectly.


Off to start my day!

Day 11....

Today's project is another winter project but it's stitched with such bright colors, it almost feels like spring. This is also the project that I've wanted to stitch for a while, but for some reason, am always short one thread. And, it's always the same thread each time. Has anyone seen a skein of Weeks Dye Works Monkey Grass laying around? I know that I've specifically bought a skein of it on my last two trips to my LNS, but somehow, they're disappearing. I'm not sure how far I'll get on this today, if I'm not able to find a skein in my stitching bag or basket.


I didn't realize how many Lizzie Kate projects are in my 15 until today. Definitely one of my favorite designers.

Day 10...and some progress pics...

Today's project is Lizzie Kate's It's a Jingle Out There! Way too cute! I can't wait to have this one finished, because the colors are just popping off the fabric. And, it's another one that I can finish-finish when the stitching is done since I'd bought the Stitch-A-Gift banner for it when I bought the chart. I didn't realize how many of the banners that I'd bought until I started picking projects out for this challenge.

I took a couple pictures of the projects that I started at the end of last week - which are some of my favorites. First, is Lizzie Kate's Jolly Holiday.

Not the best photo. The white lines going through the design don't show up the best.

My next project is Country Cottage Needleworks' Joyful Summer. I really should have stitched this one sooner. I can't wait to get back to this one. I'd like to get all of the leaves and stems stitched before my monthly craft club meets next week, since it would be easy to fill in the leaves while talking. More talking goes on each month than stitching, but it's a great "girls night out".

Be back tomorrow with another start!

Day 9...

More than half way there. While this challenge has been fun, it's starting to get to me having so many projects started. There have been a few that I just wanted to continue working on, but needed to start something new. I'm planning on posting a couple progress pictures tomorrow, on some of my favorites from last week.

Continuing with my spring thing, here's today's project - Lizzie Kate's Chicks Rule.

The fabric color is really washed out, but the yellow is so pale there really isn't much color to it to begin with.

I think the project for tomorrow will be back to winter and/or Christmas. Only a handful more new starts, and then I can get back to finishing something.

Happy Stitching everyone!!

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.
