Day nine of the crazy challenge

Isn't she gorgeous? She is my pick for the ninth day of the crazy challenge. I know I have so many  big projects and it's insane to start another one but how can I say 'NO' to this beauty?

African Woman

You can call me crazy, but that's why I joined CJC again... Well, while traveling through the blogland I came across Becky of Becky Bee's Stitching Hive and she is hosting a BAP challenge.
Wow, I'm not the only one that's crazy! For this challenge I chose African Woman.

I saw this kit a very long time ago. It was pricey so it took me a while to splurge... The while was so long that it was unavailable anymore. I called Gita's  and they say they will try to get it for me. It took exactly a year and that was 7 month ago.

I promised myself not to start anything big this year, finish what I started before and do 15 new little projects from my stash. Well, I opened the package...

finished the fabric edges, put on the scroll frame and the rest is a history

That's the beginning of the challenge.  It should be done by December 31, 2012. The size of Lanarte's African Woman is 15.4"x19.3" (187 x 255 stitches).

Topaz

Last Saturday Freddy took Topaz to the vet for the checkup. Her ear is healing nicely but she has a lot of trouble with her collar. She still doesn't eat dog food but finally drinks her water. She has good appetite but only for people food...

In a week vet is removing stitches (if all goes well) and hopefully we can say goodbye to this huge, stiff collar.

So long my friends,
