Crazy January Challenge Start #14

Had a slight change of plans last night and decided to start Joyful Summer from Country Cottage Needleworks instead of LHN's Woodland Sampling. I know I'll want to keep working on WS so may as well leave it to last and just keep it out. Not that I've been putting any of these projects away as I go. I have a nice pile of starts on the sofa table next to where I've been taking my pictures, along with fibers and patterns scattered here, there, and everywhere. I do need to work on my organizational skills! (My next challenge? Maybe...)

So here we are on the last day of the Crazy January Challenge! It has gone by a lot faster than I thought it would, and amazingly, I've managed to keep up with my starts. I say last day but that's not quite true. There's more fun to come as we all attempt to finish our 15 projects! No problem! Right?

Crazy January Challenge Starts 11 & 12

The crazinesss continues with more Sweet Treats! Here we have Pie (start #11) and Cake (start #12). Harmien will be happy that these are the last two! And my chocolate cravings should finally subside!

Only three more starts to go for the CJC! Then it's on to completing them! Woohoo!

Crazy January Challenge Start #10

Last night's start (number ten!) was the fourth of Country Cottage Needleworks Sweet Treats designs. This one is Ice Cream, a personal favorite treat, especially when it's covered in chocolate syrup! Maybe that's why I couldn't stop stitching until I had the whole bowl done! Complete with the cherry on top! Dig in!

CJC Starts 7, 8, & 9

*** The title of this post reminds me of a riddle: Why is six afraid of seven? Because seven eight nine! (Seven ate nine... get it?) ***

My next three starts for the Crazy January Challenge are from the Sweet Treats series by Country Cottage Needleworks.


Here we have Sweet Treats, Cupcake, and Tart. They don't look very appetizing right now but once I get some of the pinks and purples in there they will look positively delicious! I'm stitching them individually so I can finish them as ornaments to hang from a 'shabby chic' ornament tree I bought a couple of years ago, right before I packed everything up and moved northwards. I realize for this to happen I will have to find both my sewing machine and the ornament tree in the mountain of my boxed possessions. They've actually been divided into four hills now, so there is hope!

I had planned to do some blog visiting over the weekend but it just didn't happen. I'm afraid I've gotten woefully behind on my reading and commenting. I do want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has stopped by to visit my little spot on the web, and I do appreciate the comments you leave. I promise to make my rounds soon!
