Theme-A-Licious March Madness (week 3)

The theme for this month is March Madness, "Work on something different every day... it's madness... of the funnest possible kind."  I used the Random Number Generator to pick a number from 1-95 for a WIP from my WIPocalypse list to stitch on each day.  I'll post an update every weekend with the choices for the prior week.

March 15 - #74, The Wizard of Oz: I started stitching the wicked witch. When I have big blocks of one color, I do the half stitches first when following the pattern, then it's easy to go back and cross the X's without looking at the chart.  Do you stitch this way or prefer one X or one row at a time?

The Wizard of Oz update #1

March 16 - #82, Trick or Treat Greeting:  I stitched the purple letter E and some backstitching.

March 17 - #6, The Sorcerer:  I stitched more purple in his cloak.

The Sorcerer update #11

March 18 - #70, Snow Bear and Sleigh:  I stitched more blue half-stitches for the background.

March 19 - #50, Santa Hang-Up:  I did some backstitching and started his hat.

Santa Hang-Up update #8

March 20 - #86, Boo-gie Fever:  The skeleton has a hat now.

Boo-gie Fever update #1

March 21 - #11, Star Wars:  I finished stitching C3P0.

Star Wars update #3

I roll up the extra fabric and tuck it into the Q-Snap covers which I buy from Christine's Q-Snap Huggies.  Only 10 more days to go for March Madness!  Happy Stitching, everyone!

Crazy January start #10

Day #10 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is The Wizard of Oz by Pixel Power.  I'm stitching on green hand-dyed 14 ct Aida from Stitchnmomma.  This will be about 7" x 3.5"

The Wizard of Oz

It wasn't hard to find a similar start in my WIPocalypse list.  I started this Star Wars design by Wee Little Stitches back in 2012.  Today I stitched Princess Leia.

Star Wars update #2

Quoth the Raven is back from the framer!  She made a custom black wood frame since this wouldn't fit in an 8x10 frame.  The size is 7" x 11" and is exactly what I wanted!

Quoth the Raven - framed!

Now I can finally mail it to my nephew as a late Christmas present!

November 28-30, per Random Number Generator!

Well, I met my goal of stitching something different everyday in November using the Random Number Generator, but now I'm going to stop and concentrate on my SALs and Christmas gifts.  We only have three weeks to go!

November 28 - #13 First Love Wedding Record.  This was my Day #7 start in the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge.  I want to make this for my brother and his girlfriend, even though they haven't set a date yet!  Today I stitched the boy's chin and part of his face.  It's on 18 ct Ivory Aida.

First Love Wedding Record update #1

November 29 - #15 Star Wars.  This was my Day #9 start back in January. Today I finished Luke Skywalker.  He will be joined by Chewbacca, Han Solo, Princess Leia, C3P0, and R2D2. I bought this chart from Wee Little Stitches.  I'm stitching it on 14 ct blue Aida.

Star Wars update #1

November 30 - #44 C'est Noel.  This is a free chart from The Sampler Girl.  I'm using DMC Light Effects metallic floss in gold and other colors.  It's a real challenge to stitch with!  The fabric is hand-dyed dark green 14 ct Aida with sparkles.  I finished the words today.  There will be holly berries and leaves on both sides.

C'est Noel update #1

There are still lots of WIPs on my WIPocalypse page that didn't come up with the Random Number Generator.  I'll try to get back to those too, so they don't turn into UFOs!  Happy Holiday Stitching, everyone!

Day #9 - Star Wars - A New Hope

Day #9 of my Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Star Wars - A New Hope, by Wee Little Stitches.  This is Luke Skywalker (without his head yet).  He will be joined by Chewbacca, Han Solo, Princess Leia, C3P0 and R2D2.  I am using blue 14 ct Aida.

I haven't shared a photo of my pets in awhile, so here is a peek into my everyday work situation!
