The weather is nice this morning here. We had a cool front come in last night and the humidity is down quite a bit. It will still be near 90 F today but with lower humidity. I really should be out weeding my flowerbed but...whatever! LOL I just don't feel like it today. We lost one of our palm trees out front this winter. We did have 3 in that spot and every year we loose one. This is the last one. Not sure if we are going to replace it or not. It has been there for 9 years (that I know of) so even though they were well established they croaked. Oh well! I still have 3 large ones in my backyard.....that's if the darn Woody Woodpecker doesn't kill them. You would not believe the big holes it has pecked in them! I'll have to take a picture and show you all.
Ok on to my BAP. So I mentioned BeckySC was having a 2012 BAP Stitching Challenge. Some of the basic info on it:
The challenge:
Start and FINISH at least 1 large sampler (it doesn't have to be a sampler but MUST meet specifics required for challenge)in 2012.
The Design size must be at least 10 x 12 (that will roughly be in the neighborhood of 175 x 200 stitch count. The design can be larger but must meet the minimum requirement of 10 x 12. (if size differs due to stitching it over 1 but still meets the stitch count requirement that is acceptable)
The design MUST NOT be started prior to January 1, 2012 and MUST be completed by December 31 2012.
I chose to do LHN's Little House Neighborhood. I've always loved this design. I had it on a wish list and Bonnie from the 123MB kindly sent it to me. I thought this challenge would give me that kick in the butt to get it done :)
I started it a week or so ago and this is how far I came in a couple of days. I had to stop working on it due to some exchange stitching and "other" stitching but that is almost done so I will get back to it.
I am stitching it on 28ct antique white evenweave with the DMC threads called for.
This is the middle section. I have a long way to go for sure but I think I can get it done by December 31st.
Thanks so much for all of your wonderful comments on my last post. I truly appreciate them and for you taking the time to stop by.
Have a great day!
