January 18 Love Potion Finished! Woot! Second finish for 2008!
Project Info Project: Silver Needle's Secret Needle Night, January 2008 - Love Potion January 08 First Finish of 2008! Here's my first finish of 2008 - Lizzie Kate's January 2007 Flip-It. I'll add a better picture once I can find the cord for my camera! (Iphones are good for many things, but hi-res images is not one of them!) December 30 SBQ - December 26, 2007Did you receive any stitching-related gifts for the holidays? I got a bucket-load of stitchy stuff from my Mom, my partner in stitchy-crime!  Since it was also her birthday, when David and I went down to Vancouver, she and I went to our favorite store, Acorns and Threads, where I got the whole 2007 Lizzie Kate Flip-its set, plus all the overdyed thread to stitch it!            I also got the 2007 Christmas Keepsake ornament from Heart in Hand, September 13 Celtic Biscornu Finished! My first biscornu! I stitched this for the Open Themed Smalls Exchange on the Rotation Stitchers BB, so I will have to say good-bye to it soon, but I'm just so happy to have finished something!
I do think I should have stuffed it a little more, but I still think it's adorable!

August 09 50 Project Challenge - The RulesOkay, so I really need to reduce some of my stash, so I've decided to join the 50 Project Challenge. The rules are: 1. Have fun reducing your stash. 2. There is no time limit- people have different size projects they would like to work on. 3. Thou shall not purchase any new patterns until 50* projects have been stitched. Pattern size does not matter. (See below for the *) 4. This challenge can also apply to knitting, beading, sewing and crocheting patterns. 5. You can make some exemptions - I am not placing limitations on this due to commitments that people might already have. Remember, though, the goal of this challenge is to reduce stash so too many exemptions will sabotage these efforts. I have declared three exemptions. * So, since I CANNOT not buy things, I will follow the spirit of the rule this way: for every chart I buy, my project challenge total goes up by 2. So, buying one chart puts me up to a 52 project challenge, etc. 6. Gifts, gift cards, trades, RAKs and patterns bought with gift money are not a violation of this challenge. 7. Freebies count as part of your total and you can acquire them at any point. 8. The official start date of this challenge is August 7, 2007. So, we will see how this goes. I just went on a buying spree, so hopefully this will help me reduce my stash without being so stifling that I just drop the whole thing. Wish me luck! EDIT: I have to add one more rule... 9. The "finishing" for a project that is not just going into a frame or being made into a bell pull counts as a separate finish (hopefully, this will encourage me to do the finishing as well as just the stitching!) |
