Theme-A-Licious March Madness (week 1)

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 1-96 for a WIP from my WIPocalypse list to stitch on each day.  I'll post an update every Saturday with the choices for the prior week.

March 1 - #3, Thai Dancer:  I stitched more of her arm and the cuff of jewelry.

March 2 - #23, Boule Pastel:  I filled in the yellow stripe of this ornament on perforated paper.

March 7 - #45 - Halloween Happiness:  I finished the white part of the moon, still needs more gray.  Thanks to Lindsay, I'm using the new Q-Snap huggie that she made for me!

Theme-A-Licious February/March

Heather of It's Geek to Me is hosting Theme-A-Licious and the theme for last month was Fantastical Fiction February, "Stitch on Fantasy Creatures or Fictional Characters."

I don't have any Fantasy Creatures like dragons or unicorns, but I have plenty of Fictional Characters to choose from!  How about Santa Claus?

I stitched half of Santa's coat on Santa's 12 Days of Christmas by The Prairie Schooler.

Santa's 12 Days of Christmas (Day 5) update #3

On Santa Hang-Up, I finished his beard and face, but he needs a lot of backstitching.

Santa Hang-Up update #7

The theme for next month is March Madness, "Work on something different every day... it's madness... of the funnest possible kind."  This will be so much fun!  I'll use the Random Number Generator to choose which of my 96 WIPs to stitch on each day!  You can see them all on my WIPocalypse list.

I just clicked on the Random Number Generator in the side bar of my blog and it chose #3, Thai Dancer from PINN Stitch!  Can you believe this is the first one I started for the Crazy January Challenge of 2011!  I'll stitch on her tonight after work. This is how she looks now:

For Theme-A-Licious this month, I'll post pics once a week on Saturday to show what the Random Number Generator selected for me each day.

Guess what!  It's finally raining in Southern California!  Did you see the little weather widget in the side bar of my blog?  We've only had 1 inch of rain in the last year, so I guess it's about time.

Raining!  March 1, 2014

November 22-24, per Random Number Generator!

The Random Number Generator is choosing these numbers from my WIPocalypse page, which has the current photos of all of my WIPs.

November 22 - #4 Thai Dancer.  This kit by PINN is so nice!  The edges of the fabric are serged and all the floss is already sorted.  It has a glossy color chart so I have to mark it with a regular pen instead of a highlighter.  I didn't make a working copy.  This is on 14 ct Aspen green Aida.  I am stitching this one for myself because I think she's so cute!  This is a kit I bought many years ago, I think from The Stitchery catalog or Ebay.  I started her on Day #1 of the CJC 2011 and stitched a little bit more on Day #16 of the UCJC 2012.  Today I stitched the edge of her sleeve and part of her left arm.

November 23 - #31 All's Good in the 'Hood.  I bought this fun chart from Kincavel Krosses.  This will be a gift for my son instead of the typical "Home Sweet Home."  It made me laugh!  I'm using variegated garnet floss, DMC 115, on 14 ct Dirty Aida.  Today I stitched part of the border.

All's Good in the 'Hood update #1

November 24 - #11 Bird Nest (No 2).  This was my Day #5 start of the UCJC 2012.  I haven't touched it since.  This kit is from Yiota's XStitch in the UK.  I love birds and the color pink, so this seemed like the perfect combination!  Today I stitched the pink chest of the bird and part of the eggs or flowers.

Day #16 - Thai Dancer

Day #16 of my Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Thai Dancer from PINN.  It came in a kit with a gorgeous full color chart and beautiful floss and pretty Aspen green 14 ct Aida with all the edges already serged.  I wish all kits were like this!  I actually started this for the CJC 2011 on the very first day, but only did about 30 stitches and never touched it again until now.  I really need to grid this fabric, since the design is full of confetti and I had to be very very careful and count again and again just to get this small amount completed.  It's a challenge!

Day #1 - Thai Dancer

Happy New Year!  I didn't get started on my first project for the Crazy January Challenge until 8:00 pm, and only stitched for a little while.  I hope I get more done tomorrow.  I thought this Thai Dancer was so cute, so I'm stitching her for myself.  It will be 10" x 14.5".

Today I went to my house for the first time since my car accident on December 1st.  I sure missed my 2 dogs and 3 cats!  Thank goodness they still remembered me after being gone for a month.  I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher and did two loads of laundry, all with one hand, since the other arm is in a cast.  My 22-year-old daughter is at work or commuting most of the time, but she takes good care of the animals.  I hope to go back home as soon as I can!
