Crazy January start #15

Day #15 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Samantha from the Cats in Hats series by Kitty and Me Designs.  I'm making this one for my mom.  She has a white cat with two different colored eyes so I will try to make the changes in this chart to show the different eye colors.  I'm stitching on 18 ct light blue Aida and it will be about 3" x 4".

I found another cute kitty chart in my WIPocalypse list that I started for the Crazy January Challenge in 2012.  This is Gatitos (Spanish for kittens), a free chart from a Spanish website, nacaranta.com.  I stitched more pink in the bow but I'm missing the darkest pink color for the border.  I think I'll have to dip into my Stitch from Stash budget for this one! This will be 4" x 12" on 16 ct white Aida.

Gatitos update #2

The month is half over!  Only 16 more new starts to go!

November 25-27, per Random Number Generator!

I'm still looking forward to stitching something different everyday and letting the Random Number Generator make the choices!

November 25 - #38 Merry Christmas.  This is a chart that I won from Nancy at Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe!  She is always having great giveaways and will be announcing a winner each day for the first 25 days in December!  I am using variegated garnet, DMC 115.  This will be pretty big when finished, 7.5" high and 19.5" long on 14 ct Ivory Aida.  I finished the letter C today.

November 26 - #35 Kitty Wreath.  I'm making this ornament for my friend.  She has a cat named Lucy who looks just like this one.

November 27 - #19 Gatitos (Spanish for Kittens).  I found this free chart on a Spanish website, nacaranta.com.  This will measure 4" x 12" on 16 ct Aida.  I think they're such cute kittens!  Today I stitched part of the pink bow.

Day #14 - Gatitos (kittens)

Day #14 of my Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Gatitos (kittens), a free chart from nacaranta.com.  These adorable kitties will be 4"x12" on 16 ct Aida.  I might make it into some type of wall hanging instead of framing it.  I get so many wonderful ideas from visiting everyone's blogs.

I met five other stitchers in the SoCal Cross Stitchers Yahoo group on Saturday.  We sat and stitched and talked for hours about so many different things.  I made a lot of progress on the Happy Easter Snow Globe that I am stitching for World of Charity Stitching to be part of a quilt for a child at a domestic violence shelter or Ronald McDonald House.  Patterns for the snow globes were donated to the group by Vee and Co Cross Stitch Designs.
