Theme-A-Licious March Madness (final)

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 every day.  Instead of listing all 31 of them here, I posted updates every Saturday. See my prior blog posts:
March 1-7
March 8-14
March 15-21
March 22-28

March 29 - #83, Disney Princesses:  I stitched Pocahontas, now only 11 more to go!

Disney Princesses update #1

March 30 - #95, Remember the Alamo:  I stitched the T and started the Texas flag.

Remember the Alamo update #1

March 31 - #12, Uber Christmas Tree:  I stitched more green and some red balls and started the silver bell.

Uber Christmas Tree update #2

The theme for this month is April Showers, "What pieces can you find in your flood of WIPs that include water? Rivers, lakes, oceans, or rain (and anything that lies within)."

My water WIPs include Thomas Kinkade's Lamplight Bridge, Flaming June, Cut Thru' North Pole House, Canyon Waterfall, Christmas Ark, Christmas on the Beach, Cut Thru' Pirate Ship, and The Wave.  I'll try to stitch on some of these during April and post updates on May 1.  Happy Stitching, everyone!

Crazy January start #31

Day #31 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Christmas Tree (L'arbre aux cadeaux).  I didn't have a big enough piece of red fabric so I decided to stitch on white with Cosmo Seasons green variegated floss.  I'm stitching on 14 ct cream Aida and it will be about 12" x 12".

Christmas Tree

I also started this other Christmas tree design in January 2012 and never touched it again after the first day.  This is Uber Christmas Tree by Bent Creek.  I love how the elves are stacked up to put the star on top of the tree!  It comes with 5 little bells to put on the elves' hats. Today I started filling in the green variegated part of the tree. This will be about 10" x 9" on 11 ct Aida.

Uber Christmas Tree update #1

I finally did all my 31 new starts and made progress on 31 WIPs.  I have 98 WIPs on my WIPocalypse list so now it's time to start finishing them all!  Thanks for cheering me on!

Happy Stitching, everyone!

Day #12 - Uber Christmas Tree

Day #12 of my Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Uber Christmas Tree by Bent Creek.  I substituted almost all the floss colors on this one, so now I can finally use some variegated floss for the first time.  When I first saw this chart, I just had to buy it since the elves were so cute, trying to put the star on the Christmas tree!  The chart came with 5 bells to attach to the elves' little hats.

Next week I am on vacation from work.  I timed it just right so I could stay home and stitch!  LOL.  If I was in the 15-day Crazy January Challenge, I could get back to stitching some of my new starts, but I'm in the Ultimate 31-day start, so I will still be starting a new one every day in January.  I will use this vacation time to catch up on my WIPocalypse list, but I will also be going some places for fun!

My new blogging friend, Shaunterria, is having a giveaway on her blog to celebrate her first finish of 2012, a wonderful birth announcement for her sister's baby.  Let her know that I sent you!
