Crazy #6 - Renoir
This is one of a series of octagons I previously purchased from Fireside Stitchery. I finally got around to starting it as part of my Crazy January. The full outline is done, so you can see that when I get back to this, it'll be a fairly quick and easy stitch.
Founded
I have the foundation of the central building done in the bottom now, and some backstitching on the side. Another part is definitely taking shape.

Crazy #5- European Fountain
This was a small kit I bought while in France a few years ago. I pulled it out and stitched it in a few days for the Crazy January Challenge. It was great to get one done!
Getting Things DONE
Just after the beginning of the year, I looked at the stuff in my stitch closet and saw a huge pile of things that were stitched but not finished. I decided it was time to buckle down and get things done. This is the first I picked - Jubilation. It's now an ornament.

Back to Leaves
Time to get working on the leaves again. I ended up frogging some on the left due to a counting error, and added a spine to the right leaf.
Crazy Start #3
I started my Take a Stitch Tuesday sampler on the third. The first stitch was fly stitches, so I made these little square fly stitch motifs. Each Tuesday Sharon Boggon adds a new stitch to experiment with. It's informal, so there's always an opportunity to jump in!
Lauguishing
I feel like I'm going so slowly on this project! I know that when I took it back up, I hadn't even started the door, and I've done at least three inches across since then. It's still really dragging to me.
