A New Start

A New Year a New Blog!

Finally decided to start a new blog since I haven't been able to post to my original blog since April 12, 2013! That's crazy but true.

To start off the new year I joined Mel's Challenge to stitch from my stash for a whole year. We are only allowed to spend $25.00 a month which is for supplies to finish what we are working on out of our stash! I've failed the first month already. I will be kicked out off the challenge by next month. I've no will power. Most of what I have purchased has  been on the Facebook groups. I have sold many charts and a lot has been purchased with that money. They are older charts and some very nice fabrics. But that's not allowed. I've actually lost track of the amount I've spent. I will have to take my free pass for the month of January. That's the only free pass I get for the whole year. No prizes for me!

Some finishes from 2013

Next I'm going to add some of my finished projects since last April 2013. Maybe I'll even add others. We'll see how far I get.

The first picture is the Lizzie Kate Mystery "Very Scary". I started it in August of 2012. I stitched less than a fourth of the first section. And couldn't get into it. Last August I picked it back up and finished it the end of October 2013. It was professionally framed and its beautiful. I didn't get a very good picture. There are no wrinkles in it. I'm sorry I've posted such a bad picture. 


The second picture is one of the Four Season's Baskets from Imaginating.

I have 3 to go. I started the Summer Basket but lost my place. I will be pulling it out soon to get it finished.












The third picture I can't remember what its called or the designer. I love cardinal's they are my favorite bird. That was my second box finish.    

Hey here's a SAL that I think I can do!
I just found this one and signed up. I
hope to get many small charts stitched for
Christmas ornaments and small gifts for
Christmas this year. Oh did I say that?

Well this is all for today. I hope to be able to get back into this blog and see if I can remember how to set it up the right way. Otherwise well this is it.
