2014 Crazy January Challenge

Since I had to go through all of my craft supplies and stash when I was setting up my new craft desk I came across all of my cross stitch stash.  Looking over what kits I have, patterns I have wanted to start and presents I'd received I had quite a few things to add to my January Challenge to start next January and not feel guilty!  So now I'm working on getting my supplies together and then need to start kitting them up. 

I've got each project in a gallon size plastic bag but I'm thinking about getting these hard plastic pocket folders you can get at an office supply store that come in legal size since many of these don't allow me to close the bag due to their size.

I went out and did get all of the colors I needed for The Arab Tent but Hobby Lobby didn't carry two of the colors so I've ordered them from 123stitch and should get them by next week.  I've got a lot of skeins to bag again and just finished bagging all of my others :0)

Cross Stitch Challenge

I'm beginning a blog about my cross stitch projects.  I'm doing this because I'm a hopelessly addicted to starting new ones so what better way to keep me focused and on task!

I've made myself a promise about a month ago I would complete my husbands stocking that I've had in the works for quite a while by this Christmas.  The first stocking I made was for our daughter so that I do have finished.  I've got three more to start and finish after I get my husbands completed.  But since I made a promise to myself that I would not start another project until his is complete!

So this is what I'm going to do.  I've joined a WIPocalypse and will set to work on my projects that need finishing first.  Of course I'm going to concentrate on the stocking mostly but I should have some time to add a few stitches here and there for the others!

Won't you follow me on my journey this year and keep me company?
