Crazy January start #23

Day #23 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Boo-gie Fever by Sue Hillis Designs.  I finished one skeleton.  I'm using glow-in-the-dark floss by DMC, which is so much nicer and softer and easier to stitch with than the glow-in-the-dark from Kreinik.  I highly recommend it!  I'm stitching on black 14 ct Aida and it will be about 7" x 9".

Since I'm stitching skeletons, I pulled out another skeleton from my WIPocalypse list, Skel on Bike. I bought this chart from Witch Stitch 'n' Bits but the designer has retired and the website is closed now.  I started this in 2012 and never touched it again after the first day.  Today I stitched more of the bike frame.  This will be 12.25" x 13" on 22 ct evenweave that I dyed black (but not very dark).

Prairie Schooler Spring & Fall - March SAL update #3

Spring & Fall - March update #3
The lion has a front leg now, and there is more grass under the lamb.  Rosemary and I are almost at the same place on this one.  I hope the lion has a head by next week!

Day #56 is Skel on Bike by Angel Designs.  They have lots of other great skeleton designs; one using a drill or a blow dryer, and even one in a bathtub!  I am stitching on 22 ct evenweave that I dyed black.  It is hard to tell, but the solid white line is actually 5 rows of stitches for the frame of the bike.  The diagonal line is part of his right leg.  The finished size will be 12.25" x 13".
