Celtic Autumn Week 17

Here is my update for week 17. I am making very slow progress, hopefully I can go a little faster after the holidays.

Celtic Autumn aka "Molly"

Here is the little amount of progress from week 16. I pulled out all of the shall I didn't like how it looked. After that I only got a small section of her dress done. I missed working on her this Monday so I put a little time in her today and will post that picture later.

Celtic Autumn

I have no pictures from last week. I took a look at the shawl and didn't like how it looked so out it came. I don't like working with white/ecru. I always think it looks off. I think I will skip the shawl for now and start on her dress. The white may be why my stitching on her has slowed down. Hopefully I can catch up to Andie and Mel if I start her dress this week. We will see.

Updated pictures coming soon.

Celtic Autumn week 15 and Buzz and Tink pictures will be posted as soon as my camera decides to cooperate. Hopefully if all goes well I will have them up tomorrow.

50 Project Challenge

50 Project Challenge

I have decided to follow Andie and start the 50 project challenge. I decided on 50 because I really want to start the Chatelaine Celtic Garden Mystery, but I can't justify the cost with the amount of stash I have yet to be completed. So I made a deal with my husband and pulled out 50 projects. Most are kitted up but some still need floss or fabric. After I have completed 25 projects I can join the mystery and download the pattern. After 50 projects are completed I can order the materials/kit for the project as a birthday, Christmas or anniversary gift, depending upon what time of year I finish.



Start Date December 8, 2007

The Rules:

1. Have fun reducing your stash.

2. There is no time limit- people have different size projects they would like to work on.

3. Thou shall not purchase any new patterns until 10, 25, or 50 projects have been stitched. Pattern size does not matter. WIPs and UFOs finishes count.

4. This challenge can also apply to knitting, beading, sewing and crocheting patterns.

5. You can make some exemptions - I am not placing limitations on this due to commitments that people might already have. Remember, though, the goal of this challenge is to reduce stash so too many exemptions will sabotage these efforts. I have declared three exemptions.

6. Gifts, gift cards, trades, RAKs and patterns bought with gift money are not a violation of this challenge.

7. Freebies count as part of your total and you can acquire them at any point.

8. You do not have to declare the projects you intend to work on. (If listing would make you feel better please do so)

9. The official start date of this challenge was Sept 1, 2006 since I have been posting about it for awhile and want to make sure the everyone’s projects have been included. All projects finished on or after this date count for the challenge. Example: you have been working TW’s Peacock Tapestry for the past 36 months and you finally finished it on Sept. 12th… it counts as part of your total for the challenge.
