Crazy January start #2 and January TUSAL

I emptied out my ORT jar and filled another glass ornament for 2013!  Join the Totally Useless Stitch-Along (TUSAL) and share a picture of your ORTs every month. Leave a link to your blog post on Daffycat's blog, too!
TUSAL 2014 #1
Day #2 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Count Your Blessings by Bobbie G. Designs.  I hope to have this cornucopia done by Thanksgiving this year!  It is stitched on 14 ct black Aida and will be 6" x 5".
Count Your Blessings
Since I'm pairing up each new start with one of my WIPs, this time I chose another one from Bobbie G. Designs.  I started Basket of Fruit last January and never touched it again.  Today I stitched more of the leaves.  It is on 14 ct ivory Aida and will be 13" x 10".
Basket of Fruit update #1
Bobbie G. Designs is one of the few cross stitch booths at the Quilt & Craft Show that comes to the Los Angeles Fairgrounds twice a year.  I bought both of these kits there.

    Love your Bobbie G pieces. Fall is one of my favorite seasons.
    I added my first Bobbie G pattern "These Boots Are Made for Walkin". Being from Texas I fell in love with the pattern.
    Good start for 2014 Debbie.

    I do the same thing with my ORTS. Somehow all the colors work together in them. Great new start and like the way you're pairing up the start with a WIP.

    I like the way you are pairing these projects up - it's almost like having 62 new starts instead of 31! Good progress on both of these pieces.
