A Late WIPocalypse report

Hi everyone...
As usual I've been so caught up with work... that I'm using all my free time for my stitching... so no blogging, I'm once more trying to caught up with all your amazing blogs too, so I'm sorry if I haven't commented a lot lately :S...
Anyway as I said my free time has been for my stitching and although i thought I didn't have much to report... I've actually manage to do some stitching since my last WIPocalypse report:

I've started the last six projects of CJC -

day 10

Day 11

Day 12

day 13

Day 14

Day 15

After that I started and finished my Spring Biscornu for an exchange at the Friendly Stitchers Yahoo Group
I'm not showing what I sent because it wasn't received yet, but I can show what Melissa sent me :D

Isn't it gorgeous :D I really love it ... Thank you SO MUCH Melissa :D

Then when the biscornu was done I got back to the Day 1 Crazy, Crocus and..... I've finished it as well... I've been debating wether I was going to stitch the red border or not, and while doing the last stitches on the backstitched I decided not to... and frame it on an oval frame I think it's going to be nice, I finished it on Thursday:

 And during my working breaks this weekend I've been stitching some owls my mum asked me to stitch (for a birthday gift for friend). I finished the two big ones, that I'm going to stitch together as a key ring, and now I'm going to stitch a smaller sequence of this owl to make a bookmarker

The two :D

Back (Sleeping)

Thanks for keeping up with me :D

Hugs,

Crazies 10 - 13

I know I was supposed to post daily for the first 15 days, but I also knew that these past 4 days would be the busiest at work and so my stitching time would be reduced to almost none (since I mainly stitch during my working hours :D) but anyway I was able to put a few stitches on my crazies everyday, and so I have 4 more pictures to share with you... and since I'm back to my routine from now to the end of the month I'm back on stitching track :D 

And for Day 10:

British Scene - 10/01/2012

Day 11 (these will be only considered a finish when I've actually finish them into the tags)

Gift Tags 11/01/12

 Day 12 (same as day 11):

Christmas Tags 12/01/12

 And day 13:

Close Up of a Pink Rose - 13/01/12

Thanks for stopping by and reading :D

Happy Stitches

Day 6 and 7 - 2 Crazies, 2 finishes :D

Hi everyone,
Hope you are all enjoying your weekends stitching (I love to see all your progresses growing :D), I managed to steal some time from work on both days to dedicate mysekf to stitching and I ended up finishing both crazies :D, so I can say the year is starting pretty good (after 7 days I have 3 finishes already, that is definitely much more finishes than last year , yay)...
For day 6 I've changed my project... I've been trying to be a good girl and follow my list, but on Friday I got post, it was Cross Stitcher Magazine, and although I didn't like most of the projects on it (I'll definitely change as soon as my subscription finishes) I fell in love with the Chinese Lunar New Year zodiac signs, and since my boss is Chinese, I thought it was the perfect excuse to stitch the dragon and give it to her near the Chinese New Year... I'm still deciding how I'm going to finish it. I've changed the colours, instead of being all read I did the stitches in purple (her favourite colour) and backstitched in black to be even more visible and I loved the final result (I might do another one, this time in red and black, and I'll give it to another colleague of mine that is also Chinese eheheh) and enough of the talk, here's the picture:

For day 7 I're returned to my list and stitched the freebie pincushion that came with one of the CrossStitcher issues... I know the finishing is far from perfect, but hey, it's for me and I'm awful sewing so I can't complain much ;)

Thanks for stopping by :D
Happy Stitches

3rd and 4th Crazies

I know I said I would post about my 3rd Crazy yesterday, but life just got in the way, and next few days will be terribly busy, so my posting time will be shorter (since I don't want to cut on my stitching time, eheheh). I still managed to get a bit of time to start my 3rd Crazy :D "Cute as a Button" and today started my 4th Crazy "Bee Happy", so I'm keeping on track and I'm having even more fun each day :D
And here are the promised piccies of course :D

Crazy No. 3 - Cute as a button

Crazy No. 4 - Bee Happy

My Orchid has all the buds done :D

Yesterday I stitched all the buds on the tip of the orchid, and I started the next three flowers :) So I'm hoping that today I can complete these three flowers an move to the next part of the branch :D... It stitches so fast when there is such a small amount of confetti :D
This was one night of stithing, not bad?!
By the way I'm leaving the backstitching for the end... I know I'm crazy xD...

And here is the picture
