Crazy Challenge 2012

In one of my recent post I eluded to the Crazy Challenge I started in January of this year.  The goal is to start 15 new projects in 15 days.  You can read about each of those starts here in my January posts.  I managed to successfully start all 15 projects in the first two weeks plus a day of January.  There were a few frogs in there but I dealt with them.

I have currently finished all but 3 of my Crazy Challenge pieces, but I still have 3 months of stitching time to finish those up!  One of these 15 I don't plan on finishing this year, my goal was just to get this piece started because its been on my "to be started list" for a long time.

Here are the finished projects so far:

 Polar Friends - Day

 Polar Friends - Night 
These two are on the same fabric but they didn't photograph the same

 Eat, Sleep, Stitch

 French Country Scardey Cats

 Salmon

 Seasonal Mandalas - Counts as 4 items in the challenge

 Snowman 2010

 Snow White

 Mill Hill Beaded Ornament

My projects that are still WIPs:

Teresa Wentzler's Sun Dragon, this is my current focus

Teresa Wentzler's Delightful Dragon Fob, next on the list to be finished

 The Big Red - This will be the unfinished project

So like I recently mentioned I've enjoyed this challenge I've gotten so many of those smaller pieces I keep putting off stitched!  I'm going to do this again in 2013 and its time to start thinking which projects will become next year's challenge pieces!

  4. Great finishes!

    I have to say, you've encouraged me to come up with my own version of "Crazy January" to help clear out some smaller projects that are in the stash (and WIP pile). :)

  6. Congratulations on tailoring the Crazy Challenge to your needs. Those are marvelous finishes and I love the TW WIPs. I'll be interested in seeing what you come up with for your 2013 challenge. I am going to continue my own 2012 Crazy Challenge: Class Pieces into 2013 since I am nowhere near finished with them. I also have some WIPs for a 2013 Wipocalyspe.

  22. I'm not quite crazy enough to try this challenge but I have enjoyed watching your progress and am very jealous of your seasonal mandalas. They may have to be on my 2013 list. Good luck finishing off those last few pieces!
