Crazy January Challenge 2011 - Day 15

Last but NOT least!!! The final day of the first leg of the Challenge is done! I have started 15 new projects in as many days and had a tremendous amount of fun doing it.I figured #15 should be a really good one...

at home with Jane Austen: a sampler
The Sampler Girl
on 32ct Light Sand (Zweigart)

The design was a surprise gift by designer Tanya Marie Anderson herself a few years ago, and I'm so happy to be working on it!!

Now for the second part of the challenge: finishing all 15 WIPs by the end of the year... Preferably finish finishing them too!!

Good luck to all you participating stitchers out there and thank you to Minna who thought up this crazy scheme!! Through this challenge I have discovered new bloggers, new designers and new designs, how wonderful is that!! A perfect way to start the New Year!!

Hopefully I will be back soon with my first finish!!! But don't count on me to blog tomorrow, I'm taking a day off... or two... !!

Ooooh! I may have to stitch along with you on this one! I've had it kitted up forever. Just need to find it now.

I have to agree with you that this has been the perfect way to start a new year of stitching!

I love love love all your choices, they could have been mine as well. And this last is one that we share, as I started it on day #4 or so.
I totally agree with you on your resume on the 15 days - it was fun!

I have followed all Your postings ,You did choose so lovely patterns.
And your Cats-
what the great pictures you have taken..cats must have a great personality.

Especially the poor-boy who get some injuries from the fight saying "wanna buy some floss ladyes!!?
-It was just hilarious :)

I have two Norwegian forest cats and also love to take pictures of them.
They are called Melissa and Namine,
both are Girly Girls and I pamper them so much..
