Crazy January start #3 and January YOTA update

Day #3 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Life's a Stitch by Lizzie*Kate, which is a traveling pattern.  I won it from Annette, California Stitcher.  It has been from Canada to South Africa to France, back to Canada, and then to California.  I'd love to send this traveling chart on its way as soon as I finish.  Please mention in the comment if you'd like a chance to stitch it next and then pass it on to another lucky stitcher.  I will draw the winning name on Sunday, January 19.

The fabric is 14 ct Rustico Aida by Zweigart and the color is Desert Rose.  I'm using Dragonflylotus Designs Handspun Mulberry Silk thread in Aurora Borealis.  It will be about 4" x 4".
Life's a Stitch
Since I started a new Lizzie*Kate design, I also stitched a little more on another Lizzie*Kate chart, Very Scary.  I haven't stitched on this since last November. Now I started the border on the right side.
Very Scary update #9
It's also the first Saturday of the month and time for the YOTA (Year of the Acronym) UFO SAL update on Universal Unity.  Here is how I left it in September (the last time I stitched on it).
(before)
I stitched more blue on the Earth this time.  The pattern calls for 3 blended threads in different colors in half-stitches for the Earth.
Universal Unity update #12

Great progress! I love your idea of pairing a new with an old project. Stitching that Earth seems intense!

Virpi said...

All your stitching looks beautiful and yes I would like to stitch that travelling pattern...

You've achieved a lot, please include me in the travelling pattern draw !!!

Universal UNity looks really good. And so does Very Scary. I do love your idea to stitch on a pair of projects from the same designer. Adds an interesting touch to the Crazy Challenge.

Your Unity looks great. Stitching with blended threads is a lot of work, but beautiful.
Love your Lizzie Kate's as well.

Love seeing both your Lizzie Kate's projects - the silk thread looks so pretty on the pink fabric. Universal Unity is gorgeous, the earth is looking super rich, worth all the work with using 3 blended threads. Great progress you made on all three wips. love Annette

Love the glass balls filled with your ORT's.
Going to be fun watching your projects grow this year Debbie, nice ones you've chosen so far.

Katie said...

Great start and continue again. I don't want to be entered into the drawing though. Good luck to everyone who does enter. I have a weird allergy to Lizzie Kate designs haha.

I just love your Unity piece. Gorgeous work on it.

Please count me in for the Travelling Pattern, I am sure it is time it came Downunder! Love Universal Unity, it is really taking shape now.

Basia said...

So many cute charts. I have my hands full with doing the Crazy Challenge the standard way, you must be very organized to be able to pair these projects and make progress on both.
