March Madness Update

So far so good.....It looks like a tiny gray blob but it's a little over 1400 stitches.  Keep the March Madness going!!!!

Fangirl February Wrap Up and March Madness Begins!

My plan for Fangirl February was a Lizzie Kate project titled Time for God.  I finished the project and it awaits framing.  Here's a picture for a reminder.

So next up is March Madness.  I can't wait to see what everyone is doing.  I think this is my favorite so far.

Heather is working on something different every day.  I can't imagine!  But I can't wait to see all her projects!  What fun.  And we were all invited to participate in her "madness" or to come up with another kind of "madness".  Heather gave us some great suggestions like having a friend pick your project or work on a different WIP each weekend.  But whatever seems like "madness" to us works.  Are you ready for my madness?

I purchased my first HEAD.  That's right, Flight of the Kites is mine!!!  I will be starting this for March Madness.  I can just hear the laughter and the cheers!  Now I'm off to see what everyone else is doing.  This is going to be a great month! 

Heather you are awesome coming up with this SAL.  I have enjoyed every minute of it.

Fangirl February Check-In

Woo Hoo!!!  A finish.  The second one this year.  I'm so pleased to be making so much progress this year. 

Fangirl February

It's so difficult to choose one designer.  But I looked around at the things I've stitched recently and Lizzie Kate seems to be in the majority.  And remember my husband gave me a new Lizzie Kate chart for Christmas.  Awesome!  I will start Lizzie Kate's Time for God today.  Here's a snap of the chart.

It's something I need to remember just now too.  Hopefully stitching this will help me remain calm and trusting with recent family developments. 

Can't wait to see what everyone else will be working on!!!!

Jardin January Update

I am enjoying this so much.  Usually this time of the year, I'm still finishing up some Christmas project that I didn't finish.  I think this is a welcome change and I'm going to have to remember it for next year.

I finished my Lizzie Kate "Hello Spring" project.  I have no idea why the camera shows 6/22/11 my husband took it for me today.  I'll have to ask him.

And I was able to start a new project!  This one I've had in my stash for a long time waiting for one day.  The chart is called "All Things Bright and Beautiful".

I'm going to continue to work on this one.

And now to check out what everyone else has been working on!

Jardin January

You may remember that I joined Heather's 2012 Theme-a-licious SAL.  You can read more about it here.  I'm pretty sure you can still join us if you'd like.  January's theme is Jardin January.  We are relaxing while stitching on a garden or flowers.  Heather has several projects she'll be working on this month.  I'm really loving her Shakespeare's Garden.  It is so pretty.  I can't wait to see the finished project!!!!  Go Heather!  Go Heather!!!

My plan is much simpler.  I'm still worried about my Mom and Dad and really don't know how much stitching time I'll have.  We are still going to their house quite often and cooking and cleaning for them - taking turns with my sisters.  So my plan is to do a Lizzie Kate freebie called "Hello Spring!"  The colors are so bright and cheery.  And I'm already ready for Spring.  Let's just skip winter!!!!  I haven't started it yet so there is no before picture to show.  I believe we are supposed to post an update on the 15th.  And if I do have some extra time, I'll add a second project!
