Crazy January #11- Hannah's Hummingbird Knot Garden

Here's a kit that's been sitting in my stash for quite a while, so what better opportunity to start it than the Crazy 15?  It uses Madeira threads instead of DMC, and the packages are weird to get used to.  Other than that, things are going fairly smoothly, though I'd always rather use something like Treasure Braid than blending filament to give sparkle.

Necklace for Mary

Andreas made this necklace and earring set for Mary F.  We gave it to her yesterday, and she loved it.

Watching the Parade

Pictures of onlookers along the block...







Crazy January #10 - Jubilation

This piece is a little diamond boxtop.  I've got the center done and am working outward.  It's a small design with a lot of different counted stitches.

In the Pink

This is two Kustom Krafts SAL's ago, and I'm still on the first page - but I am working on it!

Today's Parade Pictures - More Flags










Crazy January #9 - In the Land of the Free

Yet another kit, this one's by The Sweetheart Tree.  It's a tribute to the troops, and since half the embassy is made up of military, I'm sure I can find it a good home.
