Wow! January flew by and here it is February 1! Of course it doesn't feel like February outside with the temperatures hovering around 70 the last couple of days but it has been so nice to have sunshine and springlike temperatures! I am not going to complain about it. Spring is my most favorite time of year and I will take a springlike day anytime of the year!
Quite a bit of stitching was accomplished in January! 16 Crazy January Challenge pieces were started! (I was only suppose to start 15 but just couldn't resist #16!) There were even a couple of finishes, too!!
I promised you a picture of my start on "He is Risen" in my last post and here it is:

| "He is Risen" Little House Needleworks JCS Magazine Mar/Apr 2010 |
More progress would have been made on this one but there was some frogging to do because I couldn't seem to read the right color number on the chart. Bifocals can be bothersome sometimes!
Now for the finishes....yes plural finishes!

I am 1/3 of the way to completing my CJC 2012!! So glad I chose small projects this year!
My goal this year has been to cut out stash building and get some stash stitched and completed. Well, I was doing so good until Little House Needleworks came out with the first ornie for 2012 "Blessed". I resisted until almost the end of January but on January 30th an order went out to 123 Stitch. How I love that ONS!! And of course when you only have one thing in your cart that is not a good use of shipping cost so a couple of other charts landed in my cart along with the needed threads to stitch them. I know...I am hanging my head in shame...I couldn't even go a whole month without adding to the stash collection...BUT IT FELT SOOOOO GOOOD!!! LOL I will show you my stash when it arrives in the mail!
Now for a big announcement!!! My oldest daughter is expecting a baby on August 21!!! She told us right before Christmas but didn't want it made public until she got through the first trimester. Let me tell you, it has been so hard sitting on that secret these last weeks! I am so excited!
Well, that's all the news for this post. I leave you with a wish for Blessings and Happy Stitching!
