Thinking Crazy!!!!

January first is almost here and that means several things! The biggest question of course is what am I going
to stitch in 2012?

 Unless some miracle happens I'll be still working on Enchantment of Winter. The original plan had been to finish this piece to have it framed for my Dad's 70th birthday in November.


I'll also still be poking away at the Accolade as I was only semi-successful with stitching a 10x10 block on it whenever I went to pick up my stitching. As for new starts oh boy there's going to be a start-a-palooza at this house! After watching last years Crazy Challenge I decided I wanted to give it a go this January. This means I get to start one new project for the first fifteen days of January, the idea is also to finish all 15 by the end of the year. The starts should be doable since I'm not back to work until the 9th. As for the finishing, a lot of the projects are small so I should be able to finish most of them but the last project on the below list I know I won't be able to finish. I've just had it kitted up for over a year now and just want to start it! So what are my fifteen starts you may ask?

1. Ink Circles Seasonal Mandalas - Winter
2. Ink Circles Seasonal Mandalas - Spring
 3. Ink Circles Seasonal Mandalas - Summer
4. Ink Circles Seasonal Mandalas - Fall
These four new starts are actually a SAL I'm doing this upcoming year with Tracey, Bonnie, Christin, Beatrice, Rebecca, and Clare. I may have forgotten someone and if I have I'm soooo sorry! I am really looking forward to this stitch!

    ENjoy the Halloween. I did mine with orange letters (as called for) and black cats. IT was a fast stitch and lots of fun.

  8. Great choices for your 15! I did the Challenge this year and wasn't able to finish a few of the pieces I chose. They were just too darn big - and with all the other WIPs I was also working on! So, those I didn't finish are going into the 2012 WIPocolypse. I look forward to seeing your progress on the Crazy Challenge! Have fun with it!!
