I've been a very busy beaver the first few days of this wonderful new year. I just hope that the rest of 2011 is as good as these first few days have been. I think Hubby said it best with his first Facebook post of the new year.
Lessons were learned , memories were made, and I became a stronger more loving person all in 2010. Now it's my season, 2011 marks the beginning of more growth, more memories, more love and more goals to be met.... Looking forward to all that is ahead......
Speaking of new beginnings, I've been very busy with the 2011 Crazy January Challenge. I've already made a change to my list of fifteen. I'm pretty sure that this won't be the last change either!
Remember this post from 2009? I was supposed to start a SAL with a dear friend at the beginning of 2009. Well, we never did start it. So, since this was a "Crazy Challenge", I decided to go crazy with my first piece. Here's my start on the upper right hand corner working to the left.

| Mouline Rouge by Long Dog |
Day two was a wonderful day spent with my stitching sisters. We decided to have progressive dinner and I hosted the dessert. It was so much fun to see each other's finished and unfinished stash. In the process we also found things in each other's stash that we hadn't seen before. A few of us even exchanged patterns. I was a good girl and stuck to the challenge. I started this......

| This Heart of Mine by Ink Circles |
I decided to change things up on day three and deviate from my list. One of my stitching sisters had stitched a piece that I fell in love with. From the instant I saw it stitched I knew that I had to stitch it for myself. She was such a wonderful friend and passed it on so that I could fulfill my stitching desires. So, I rearranged my list and began this.....

| Sheltering Tree by With Thy Needle & Thread |
I'm very pleased with my new starts in the 2011 Crazy January Challenge. Now I'm going to go back to working on Mouline Rouge until tomorrow. Then I'll have to get start number four under my belt.
This is definitely crazy.......but fun!
Happy Stitching
