TAL January wrap up

It’s time to wrap up January’s theme, which was gardens.

I made some good progress on Bienvenue.  All the way across the top and onto the second flower.

February’s theme is people.  This means I can either work on Mal from Firefly or Dork Stitch’s Doctor Who sprites.  Tough choice!!

The Christmas theme for January was trees.  I can happily report a finish.

Snowmen are the subject for February.  I’ll have to find a cute little one so I can keep up this trend.

TAL January Mid-month Flowers/Trees

So I decided to join this years’ Theme-a-licious sponsored by It’s Geek to Me.  This year there are two categories, the regular and a separate Christmas theme.

January’s theme is jardin, which is French for garden.  I’m working on Bienvenue, which is French for welcome.  Actually, there are some flowers in there too.  Not that you can tell so far.

Here it is at the beginning of the year.

And currently:

Still only one flower, but the heart is cute.

The Christmas theme for January is tree or wreath.  Taking just short of forever to decide, I finally went with this little piece designed by Zoe Halstead.

Which now looks like this:

I plan/hope to finish the trees this month.  Bienvenue, I hope/plan to finish before the sheep make it eligible for the June theme.

What do you do on the last day of the year?

Wish everyone a Happy New Year?

Recap the last year?

Plan for the next one?

Actually I thought I’d just mention a couple of recent starts that I’ll be working on in the new year.

Joy by Stitcheree!

 

 

I started this for the LNS exchange.  Maybe next year. J  I’ve also made a small start on Stitcheree’s Merry & Bright.  No pictures until I decide whether I started in the right spot.

Mal from the Sprite Stitch forum

 

This was meant to be in honor of Firefly’s 10^th anniversary.  That and I just like it.

Beinvenue by Jardin Prive

 

 

My daughter says she likes sheep.  What other reason could I need?

There’s also the sailboat picture I started for my brother, the By the Bay Fall SAL and the Christmas Mystery SAL by The Little Shop Around the Corner.  All of which will provide me hours of entertainment and in no way keep me from starting something new at the drop of a needle.

Happy stitching World.

Happy New Year!
