Yes, I have fallen off my 50 project challenge. I could no longer resist. I just put a nice dent in the old credit card. I could no longer resist the Alphabet Fairies or the Pixies!!! I will continue to work on what I have here but with all the new patterns out I don't think I will have the will power to resist. DH is going to give me the Celtic Garden Mystery for my birthday anyway, he knew I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">wouldn't</span> make it!!!</span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">And speaking of my DH, he just found out that he made Chief this year!! Yeah!! For those who aren't military this is a very nice promotion for him. So the next six weeks or more is spent in training, fund raisers, community service etc. I told him my gift for not really seeing him for the next 6 weeks (he is going to be so busy with initiation) is my cross stitch order!!<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">LOL</span> I have to justify falling off the wagon somehow!!!</span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Have a great week I will be posting Celtic Spring progress at the end of the week.</span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Kristin</span>Kristin Stitcheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631636773576246673noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877132635108120795.post-8710464117988703632008-07-18T15:37:00.001-07:002008-07-18T15:40:47.950-07:00Fairy Moon Update<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_EADo1Yzz2zg/SIEbad2qjmI/AAAAAAAAAIk/CxivwgkV4_8/s1600-h/100_1855.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224487184230944354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_EADo1Yzz2zg/SIEbad2qjmI/AAAAAAAAAIk/CxivwgkV4_8/s320/100_1855.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#3366ff;">Here is Fairy moon for July.

Though my SAL partners my have thought so!!! It has been very hectic around here this past month or so. </span><br /><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">I didn't stitch on Celtic Autumn this month but I will get a picture up from April. We start Celtic Spring in June. I am going to fit Celtic Autumn into my rotation somewhere so that I get her finished soon.</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">Here is Fairy Moon from April. I will get an updated picture for this month up after this week is up.</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">I did manage to get a baby sampler finished but not Halloween Fairy. She has one wing to go. Poor thing has been waiting for months to be finished. I hope to get her done soon also!!</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">My husband was away in Virginia for a month and was kind enough to go <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">LNS</span> searching for me. Once he is unpacked I will get a picture of my new presents up. He also gave me a gift certificate to ABC Stitch for Mothers day. I will post a picture of those when they arrive. I am still working on the 50 project challenge. I didn't count my new gifts towards the challenge since they were part of my original rules on gifts and gift certificates!</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">Thanks for looking, </span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">Kristin</span></p>Kristin Stitcheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631636773576246673noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877132635108120795.post-89166487649491800052008-03-17T06:16:00.001-07:002008-03-17T06:25:04.179-07:00Fairy Moon<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EADo1Yzz2zg/R95v-9HiOTI/AAAAAAAAAGg/4c0nDj52kIY/s1600-h/100_1767.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178699748871387442" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EADo1Yzz2zg/R95v-9HiOTI/AAAAAAAAAGg/4c0nDj52kIY/s320/100_1767.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">Here is Fairy Moon.

The fabric that came with it was too small and left about 1/4 inch border to try to work with, so I am leaving it off. I will either finish it off as an ornament or a pinkeep whenever I get a chance to work on the drawer of finishes to be finished. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">Thanks for looking.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">Kristin</span></div>Kristin Stitcheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631636773576246673noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877132635108120795.post-28164498988555952632008-01-28T11:11:00.000-08:002008-01-28T11:34:01.616-08:00Finish 3 of 50<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EADo1Yzz2zg/R54qj8a8FgI/AAAAAAAAAEw/IGOphfjsNcI/s1600-h/Drawn+Thread+Little+Spot+Sampler+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160609020016072194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EADo1Yzz2zg/R54qj8a8FgI/AAAAAAAAAEw/IGOphfjsNcI/s320/Drawn+Thread+Little+Spot+Sampler+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">Here is finish 3 of 50.

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.</span></div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">Kristin</span></div><div> </div>Kristin Stitcheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631636773576246673noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877132635108120795.post-81378878516239309282007-12-17T19:07:00.000-08:002007-12-17T19:12:06.851-08:00Celtic Autumn<span style="color:#3366ff;">Celtic Autumn</span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">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. </span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">Kristin</span>Kristin Stitcheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631636773576246673noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877132635108120795.post-56899798525467450772007-12-16T18:40:00.001-08:002007-12-16T18:42:25.269-08:00Updated pictures coming soon.<span style="color:#3366ff;">Celtic Autumn week 15 and Buzz and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Tink</span> pictures will be posted as soon as my camera decides to cooperate.

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.</span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">Start Date December 8, 2007</span><br /><br /><br /><p><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">The Rules:</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">1. Have fun reducing your stash.</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">2. There is no time limit- people have different size projects they would like to work on.</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">3. Thou shall not purchase any new patterns until 10, 25, or 50 projects have been stitched. Pattern size does not matter. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">WIPs</span></span> and UFOs finishes count.</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">4. This challenge can also apply to knitting, beading, sewing and crocheting patterns.</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">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.</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">6. Gifts, gift cards, trades, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">RAKs</span></span> and patterns bought with gift money are not a violation of this challenge.</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">7. Freebies count as part of your total and you can <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">acquire</span> them at any point.</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">8. You do not have to declare the projects you intend to work on. (If listing would make you feel better please do so)</span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;">9. The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">official</span> 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 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">TW</span></span>’s Peacock Tapestry for the past 36 months and you finally finished it on Sept. 12<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span></span>… it counts as part of your total for the challenge. </span></p><p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><br /></span><span style="color:#3366ff;">My 50 Project List:</span><br /><br /></p><span style="color:#3366ff;">1.
