Update


Here I have some update pictures from the challenge...

Day 14 crazy january challenge

I am doing Winnie the pooh Season blocks for this one which is spring.. Had this chart years and want to finish them all in the end.

Day 13 Crazy January Challenge

I decided to stitch an all our yesterdays kit for my nanna as it was her who gave me the chart and she wants to see it finished so this was my next choice.

Day 12 of the Crazy January Challenge

I chose wipe your damn feet for today as I really like this and its going to be framed and placed near the front door. Once I got the hang of the feet it moved along quite quick really want to finish this one soon 

Day 11 of the Crazy January Challenge

Ok so I am a bit late with the blogging what with one thing an another I have not been able to catch up with all the blogging I need to do. For day 11 I did Kells Love Sampler I have only stitched the top band bit on this one..

Day 10 Of The Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge

For Day 10 I decided to do the Forever Friends Fairy Tale which I had intended to do earlier in the challenge but changed it for the hugging Forever Friends.. I love this chart so much :)

Day 9 Of The Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge

Ok so for day 9 I chose to do Kells I'm A One Drink Woman Sampler which my mum just loved. When its finished she is going to put it on her bedroom wall..I am not that confident at back stitch but thought there is no better way to learn than to practice it..I changed the colour of the aida as I thought white glasses and red wine would stand out better on black aida..

Finished Projects From The Challenge



I have managed to get some good stitching in this weekend as I havent really moved out of the house that much. These were the small projects that I started and managed to finish. I am really happy with how they have turned out...So as you can see I have finished the Rainbow Bookmark, The Geometric Bookmark and The With Love Card..

Day 8 Of the Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge

 Here we have day 8. This is a with love card I plan to give my nanna for her birthday which is in February I really didnt get much stitching done on this one as I had a realluy bad migrane and I am really neither use nor ornament when that happens haha.. What you see on the picture is the L from love I am hoping to get a bit more done today as well as start day 9.. I really like this chart as it says a lot even though it is ony small...

Day 7 Of The Crazy Cross Sitch Challenge

 This small chart is from the World Of Cross Stitching and I really fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.. Its a little bear holding a rose and he is gorgeous.. Planning to stitch it and give it to my mum as a thank you card just for being my mum, got everything I needed with the kit so that was helpful.

Day 6 Of The Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge

Here we have Day 6 of the challenge which is another of Kells designs. This is the geometric bookmark design which I have changed slightly so that the colours are different to the ones from the design. I chose this pattern as I am really into reading but am always losing my bookmarks so leave my books open with the spine bending which isnt good for the book :) I have used a pastel pink and also pastel green so far for this and will use pastel peach for the last colour. This design is stitched on cream aida..

Day 5 Of The Crazy Cross Stich Challenge

Ok the design for day 5 is another of Kell's Designs.. Only small but still great non the less.. I have chosen the rainbow bookmark for this one and it really shouldnt take me long to stitch at all.. I really love this design because of the bright colours and I plan to use it myself rather than give it away haha.. So I am all up to date now so far only 10 more days to go and then my updated post :)

Day 4 Of The Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge

Day 4 of the challenge I again changed.. I have not decided whick of the Newtons Law Charts will go but it shall be one of them as I saw a really funky chart in my new cross stitch chart and I knew I just had to stitch that one instead ... This is a small chart that is full of funky colours with patterns on the tree's and a small owl on one branch.. This one I will stitch as a card I think for who though I don not know....So far I have stitched some of the tree trunk and the grass at the bottom...

Day 3 Of The Crazy January Challenge

Ok so I am really behind with the blogging part of the challenge I find it hard to remember that I need to actually blog this stuff.. So for Day 3 I slightly changed the list and instead of the listed Forever Friends Fairy Chart I am now just doing 2 Forever Friends Bears Kinda hugging that my brothers girlfriend saw in Cross Stitch Crazy and really liked.. This one I am hoping to finish before her 21st birthday in August.. So far I have managed to stitch the majority of their legs and there really isnt much to stitch for the top half then it is all back stitch from there to make the faces and the outlines..

Day 2 Of The Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge

Here we have day number 2 of the challenge and this is the Wash Your Damn Hands by Kell.. Its a really good chart and will take pride of place in the bathroom which we have just decorated in pink and white.. Its stitched on 14 count white aida which has silver running through it.. So far I have only stitched half of the hands. Stay tuned for day 3... 

Day 1 Of The Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge

Ok so this is the first post from the crazy cross stitch challenge. I am a slightly behind with my blogging as I couldnt find my camera cable and there wouldnt have been too much point in posting without pictures, For my first project I chose to do a picture frame kit that my best friend bought me for christmas.. Its only small so shouldnt take too much to do and I managed to get in around 12 hours of stitching which was good for me..
