Crazy January start #28

Day #28 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Heaven and Nature Sampler from Cross Stitch Gold magazine, issue #18.  This design caught my eye because it has so many different animals in it, like a moose, porcupine, bobcat, meerkat, bat, raccoon, wolf, fox, etc.  Santa's sleigh and reindeer are at the bottom, too!  I started by stitching the two hanging pinecone weights under the cuckoo clock. I'm stitching over 2 on 28 ct white evenweave and it will be 12" x 16".

Another WIP I started last January with forest animals is Picnic Area from The Prairie Schooler.  Today I stitched the letter A.  The fabric is a dark green 14 ct Aida, but it looks brighter in the photo.  This will be 9" x 7".

I love the sampler Debbie. Just wish it didn't have so many quarter stitches or I was 20 years younger and could see to stitch on higher count fabric. lol Picnic Area is looking good. Love the bear.

Both so different but lovely in their own ways. Heaven and Nature is so delicate in the picture but your stitching looks a lot brighter.

I have never heard of the Cross Stitch Gold Magazine! What year did that come out?
The sampler is adorable, too. Good choice!
