Crazy January Challenge - Day Eleven & a Finish!

Good afternoon!

I hope you are all ok on this chilly Saturday afternoon?

I started my next new start this afternoon, this time it is Rory Raccoon, which came free with Cross Stitcher issue 268.


This is sweet stitch, I like the bright colours of the flowers compared to greys of Rory!

In the early minutes of this morning (00:02 to be precise) I finished one of my Crazy Challenge projects!


This was the vintage rose keyring which came free with issue 264.

It was a fun stitch and turned in to a pretty finish! I just need to decide on a way to cover the back, I'm thinking a piece of felt or something to hide the stitches.

Well, we are almost at the end of the Challenge, and I will admit now I am starting to look forward to it, who would of thought that I would have enough of new starts?! It will be good to get stuck in with a project and stick with it (for a few days at least!).

Until tomorrow!

  4. Love the raccoon. Your finished finish is too cute! I would put felt on the back too. I don't blame you for being glad it's almost over. I would just be getting into the piece when it was time to put it down.

  6. Lovely start and finish - I know what you mean re the challenge. I did toy with the idea of 31 starts but then so many of my starts so far I really want to get on with stitching, too! A dilemma!
