Trapped

It got cold in the Yukon. Yesterday temperature dropped to 40 below 0 and it was just to cold to drive to work. So I was trapped at home and I liked it! I stitched and stitched, and worked on my first assignment (I'm back to school again working for that accounting designation), cooked and baked. It was an awesome day! Today is even colder, so I'm trapped again and have tons on the agenda for the day. 


Yesterday I worked on my Project 1 form Crazy January Challenge (CJC) - Shiver me Timbers, here is the progress:


It is a lovely project to work on and made me fell in love with pirates. I have in my stash pirate Santa and he will be my Project 15 for the CJC!


Let's talk about other projects for the challenge:

Project 10 - Birds of a feather

now
and, when done


Project 11 - Heart of the Valley. Not a new start but it deserves to be finished.

 now
 
when done
Project 12 - Provence. Again, not a new start but I would love to finish this year

now

when done

Project 13 - Ships and shells from HAED

now

when done

Project 14 - Temple of Bastet. Yes, I know, you think I'm crazy but it is a Crazy January Challenge! This is another HAED design and since I only worked on protecting fabric edges and installing it on the scroll frame I do not have much to show you. What I can do, is to show you how the finish project will look like


Now I'm set with my stitching plan for 2011 and many more years to come. 

So long friends,

  2. I love all the projects. HAED has some great looking stuff. I got a couple of freebies off their website the other day so maybe one day I will try one....I just don't have a lot of time with the baby and the one that's arriving in a month...

  3. I love that you have so many new HAED starts. Makes me feel better. ;)
    And alas I feel badly for neglecting my pirates from Sue Hillis again.
    Soon I will get back to those.

    Love all the projects Evalina. So just variety!

    Stay warm. Goodness, I think the coldest I've ever had it be here was -35C and that was enough. Geez we're complaining about our -23C today.

  4. Your projects take my breath away! Mine are tiny compared to yours and I'm overwhelmed at times.

    And the temp outside - I'm freezing at 20 above this year. I'm not made for temps that cold. Brr!

  7. Being that cold is just not right!!! I remember your older WIP and you are right, they do deserve to be finished and you are also quite right that if you don't start another thing, you have several years lined up for you already!
