Theme-A-Licious March Madness (week 2)

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 8 - #12, I'll Get You My Pretty:  I stitched the moon, broom, and bat and it's finished!
I'll Get You My Pretty - FINISHED!

Crazy January start #29

Day #29 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is The Wave, a painting done by William-Adolphe Bouguereau in 1896.  The chart is from Cross Stitch Collectibles.  It has 28 pages and I would be happy to finish one page this year.  My goal was one 10x10 block today, but I am missing one floss color, DMC 157.  There were 10 different colors in this block of sky!  This will be about 20" x 15" on 18 ct off-white Aida.  I don't expect to finish this one any time soon!

The confetti in this full-coverage design it just like the sky on Flaming June and Canyon Waterfall, but I didn't choose one of these as the companion WIP.  Instead, I thought the perfect match for this woman on the sand would be Beach Babe by Diane Arthurs!  I started her last January and never touched it again until today when I finished stitching the little blue pouch hanging from her neck with a goldfish on it.  She will be about 6" x 8" on 14 ct white Aida.
