I joined!!

I know it has been awhile since my last post but with the holidays and work....you know the drill.  I did however join the "2011 Challenge", 15 new starts in 15 days.  The only modification I made is to alternate new starts with WIP's, otherwise I will have too many WIP's...lol.  With all my good intentions of starting this challenge I threw my back out, the funny thing is I don't really know how I did it.  I have been reading some of the blogs and a lot of people have decided to join the "Challenge" and some have modified it but none like One Stitch at a Time.  She is doing a new start a day for the entire month.  I really love that idea and can't wait to see her progress for the entire year.

The following is a list of my starts and WIP's so far:

1.  In the Forrest by La D Da
2.  Summer Ball by Sandy Littlejohn-WIP
3.  Marblehead Sampler from Sampler & Antique Needlework Spring 2007
4.  ?
5.  ?

I realize I am a day off, I was not able to stitch on Sunday because of my back pain, so I will make up the day along the way.

I got a new camera for Christmas the Canon EOS Rebel T2i and am planning to take a lot more pictures of my needlework.  If I feel better today I will take pictures of my starts so far and post them tomorrow.  I did have an organized list of projects I wanted to start but I decided to start on ones that I have kitted up already.  So at this point I am taking it day by day, which I kind of like, makes the day a mystery as to what my new start or WIP that I will bring out. 

An update on my VoHRH, I finally finished all the stitching now I am going back and doing the backstitching.  Since I am using Q-Snaps I decided to save the BS for last but I should have this completely finished soon.

Thanks for reading and following....check back for pictures!!

Cheers,
