66.67% finished.....


...that's how much of the Crazy Challenge is done!
Here is finish number 10 ....
Plum Street Samplers "Olga"
stitched on 40ct Purely Primitive
w/ DMC

  This design looked so simple and I just
knew I would breeze through it.  Not so...it
took a good week to get this little lady done.

I had been doing a lot of Olympic
viewing so that probably did impede my
progress somewhat.  Now what will I watch ...
I'm sad to see them end.


I just love the colors in this one...especially the
white pumpkin.   I think that will make
the cutest little pin pillow. 


Another black kitty in the family...
can you see how thrilled Pork Chop is????

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments
on my trip to the west.   I am so lazy about
replying to comments but please know that I
do read them all and appreciate them all!

Well....I am off to see what other
stitching trouble I can find!
Have a great stitchy weekend!

I have a love/hate relationship
with this Challenge.  

I love it because I am finally stitching
some wonderful designs that have been
languishing in my stash for years.

I hate it because I have seen the
wonderful designs y'all have started and
I want to stitch many of them now!

Anyone else having this problem????

I am off to get ready for Downton Abbey tonight. 
I don't want to miss a minute so I need to
get situated in my stitchy chair.

As always...thanks for visiting.
Happy stitching!
