Done! Day thirteen, fourteen and fifteen of the crazy challenge.

OK, my crazy starts are done and I'm cured for a while from startitis. Here are the last three:

Vultures Welcome

We are entering Chinese year of the Horse - my own sign. It only happens every sixty years, most likely I will not experience this again. I believe in magic so I decided to stitch not just a horse but a unicorn. Kustom Krafts have a beautiful one:

 Enchantment

and the last one, Spooky Welcome:

Stay tuned for tomorrows full moon WIPocalypse 2014.

So long my friends,

Day twelve of the crazy challenge

I found a freebie "Alphabet Heart' and thought it's perfect for a little heart fabric that was gifted to me a long time ago. I decided to use Dark Variegated Pink from Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe and I really like so far

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

Day eight of the crazy challenge

Life got kind of busy lately and for day eight I'm cheating. Protective Care I've started in 2012 January challenge and did not touched it for two years... I have no idea why because the project is lovely.

Day six of the crazy challenge

Today was time for Just Nan to get started. I was planning to start with Christmas Secret and I did, kind of... This is how it suppose to look

but I did not feel like stitching over one on 32 ct... So I took the chart and start to stitch a bookmark. Instead of Christmas Red I'm using Jewel of the Nile from Carrie's Creation. Yes, I'm stitching it on 14 ct for a change.

Day five of the crazy challenge

Today's new start is 'Forget Me Not' by Nancy Turner from The Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe. I had a piece of evenweave just the right size and color (light blue forget me not) and a lovely floss from Nancy called 'Ocean Waves".

Day three and four of the crazy challenge

Here are my starts for the third and fourth day of the challenge:

 Shadows

 A Mind Independent and Free

I just noticed that I'm starting two samplers with same motto:

'No glory I covet,

No riches I want.

Ambition and beauty are nothing to me.

The one thing

I beg of good heaven to grant

Is a mind 

Independent and free.'

Hm... why that mind independent and free is so important to me?

Crazy challenge - day two

Yep, Linda was right on! Today's start was 'Friendship' by Little House Needleworks.

I adore this chart and I'm sure I'll stitch it more than once...

Crazy challenge

Happy New Year everyone! This year again I'm taking part of the crazy January challenge where for 15 days (some more crazy stitchers do it for the whole month of January!) I do new starts from my stash and trying to stitch them through out the year. Today is day one and I started to stitch Snooty Parrots Sampler designed by Barbara Ana.

It wasn't a very good choice for a New Year day to stitch on 40 ct linen... you know - New Year celebrations with champagne, hard to see these fine lines...

I decided to stitch this piece with floss from Victorian Motto Shoppe (1 thread over 2) and so far I like it. I know it's just a few stitches there and you really have to use your imagination...

Can you guess what I will be stitching tomorrow? I can give you a little hint: it will be a piece from Little House Needlework.

So long my friends,
Evalina
