Crazy January Challenge - Day Four!

Hello!

Another day, another new start! Today it was the turn of the Tropical Bookmark which came free with Cross Stitcher issue 269.


Not bad I guess, just three more birds and backstitching! I love the bright colours in this one, they are very cheery when I'm stitching on a dark, damp January day!

Until tomorrow!

YOTA 2014 - January

Hello! I hope you are all well and sticking to any new years resolutions you've made!

Today is the first Saturday of the month, meaning it is YOTA day! If you have no idea what YOTA is then just follow this link to find out more, and maybe even join in if you fancy!

Last year I managed to finish off an old piece of stitching, which I was very happy about as I know otherwise it wouldn't have even been touched in 2013!

This year however, I have picked a much larger project. Realistically I don't think I will finish this one this year, but it will be good to make a nice amount of progress.

I have decided to make "Twilight Magic" by Heaven and Earth Designs my YOTA focus. This pattern was featured in World of Cross Stitching magazine in 2012 I believe, and was my first ever HAED start.


Sadly last year it got no love at all...

Here is where I am currently



See you here again next month for an update! Fingers crossed with a decent amount of progress!
