Crazy January Challenge - Days 11 and 12

They might be small starts but they are starts.  This is one challenge that I am keeping up with for once ;)

First off was Mirabilia's Touching the Autumn Sky which is stitched on Sparklies glacier jazlyn.  It's a lovely fabric to stitch on but is quite a loose weave.


Today I started Penguin Parade on 18ct 'mystery blue' aida. (Thank you Jo for giving me the fabric.)  It was rather odd working on a piece of fabric 5 feet long.  I ended up draping one end of it over Rachael as we were watching a film.  She wasn't impressed!


Oh, and I seem to be unable to count to 15 and look to have an extra project put aside for the CCJ.  Oh well, I might as well start it anyway!  I'm just going to double check that I have counted properly!

OMG I should so start touching the autumn sky! But I've been avoiding big projects!

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...

Phew, caught up on reading!

Lots of great starts so far this month. I wonder which will be finishes by the end of the year?

Meeting David Tennant looked like such a thrill! Hubby always gets confused with him and the next Doctor and calls him Chris Tarrant rather than Christopher Eccleston!!

Can you imagine the Daleks on Millionaire?
