IHSW Sunday round up

Good evening my lovelies!

I hope you have all had a pleasant weekend and made the most of the fact its International Hermit and Stitch Weekend!

Mine has been pretty good! On Friday evening I made a start on my small for the Small SAL hosted by Stitching Lotus, and then on Saturday I finished it!

Your expecting a picture now, right? Well sorry, your just going to have to wait until the 29th for the check in post - I don't want to ruin the surprise now do I?!

Today I pulled out one of my big WIPs, I'd been looking forward to getting stuck back in again after the Crazy January Challenge!

I decided upon Mini the Black, this is what it looked like the last time you saw it (almost a year ago!)...

And today, after stitching yet even more 310, almost 1600 stitches later here it is now!

Thrilling pictures huh? ;)

Well that's all for today I think, just a quick note to say hello to my new followers! As well as thank you for all the comments from followers new and old, they really spur me on sometimes :)

Crazy January Challenge - Day Fifteen - I DID IT! :D

Well here it is, the final installment of the Crazy January Challenge.

Number fifteen, the third and final Reindeer card which came with Cross Stitcher issue 259.

Hurray!

So a quick round up..

• First 15 days of January 15 new projects started
• Of the 15 3 are already complete
• Leaving me with 12 projects to complete by the end of the year

I think that is pretty doable, most have a fair amount of progress on them and I think these will be great to pick up in between my larger projects when I need a quick fix!

So there you have it, my first attempt at the Crazy January Challenge! I am glad I did it, but also glad it was only with small projects, and I can't complain about three finishes already this year. It just goes to show what I can achieve once I put my mind to it :)

So the question now is, what do I stitch tomorrow?!

I'll let you know as soon as I do! ;)
