2012 Crazy January Challenge Is Finished!

Whoopee!!

The 2012 Crazy January Challenge is completed!

Here is my final project-

#15-Brightneedle Pretty in Pink

Fabric and threads from kit

 

The top project is front and back of a pinkeep. The middle is front and back of a scissor fob.  The bottom is a nameplate to go on the front of a little fabric purse that came with the kit.  Hopefully next time you see it the whole kaboodle will be finish-finished!

Above is some new stash-Maggie Bonanami's new wool project kit from her club at Country Stitches AND supplies for 2 of Chloe's dresses by Gay Ann Rogers.  I bought Chloe and all 3 of her dresses a few years ago during Gay Ann's annual e-week.  Hoping that actually kitting them will get me to move them up my to-do list.  Chloe IS a beautiful project!

My first Christmas present has arrived. DD#2 has been faithfully buying my annual Needlepoint Now subscription. I asked her this year to switch to SANQ and look what has arrived in the last 2 weeks :)

Last, but not least, is the latest in my Advent Exchange with Lorrie of A Stitcher's Snippets.

Day 12 looks like a cell phone holder?? (help me out here, Lorrie). It is made in the coordinating fabric that matches my drawstring bag, mug rugs, etc. And a new tape measure.

 

Day 13 is a wonderful selection of Victorian Motto Sampler threads--and Lorrie included several shades of pink-my favorite.

 

Day 14 is a project bag in another beautiful pink fabric. This is beautifully lined and sewn.  It is already in use.

I am loving this exchange, Lorrie!

Also, I have updated my For Sale page with more new (and gently used) items.  Check it out!

 

Christmas is less than 2 weeks away!  I am almost ready. 

Count your blessings this weekend everybody.  We have so much to be thankful for.
