While watching football last night, I started project #2 on the Crazy January Challenge. I think I made good progress. Here it is - from Birds of a Feather - Happy Hearts Sampler!
I've had this one kitted up for a long time. Joined a SAL once but never crossed a single "x". I watched as other stitching bloggers worked on theirs. Linen Stitcher finished hers in June, 2008 so that goes to show how long I have been wanting to stitch this one! Now it's started. Keep your fingers crossed that I will finish it in 2011!
Later today I will decide on today's project (#3) - I think it will be another new start vs. one of the WIPs.
Before I go, I found a new love! Since I live in cold Minnesota, I tend to drink a lot of hot tea in the evening (it keeps me warm.) I have several favorite varieties (pictured below), and I've added a new one to my tea stash (no pun intended). It's from STASH and it is called Pomegranate Raspberry Green Tea. It's a winner!
Thanks for your visits and words of encouragement. I've been doing my best to keep up with visiting your blogs, but I'm behind again! :)

Oh Cathy, I've had this one in my stash for a looooong time too...and I love it - deliriously! But I'll still have to live vicariously through you :)
It's gonna be gorgeous!
Oh, this is such a great sampler! I did mine a long time ago - so long that it was in DMC so probably before I got onto the ONS! Have fun with this one, Cathy!
ps - it's great to find new teas that we love!
Oh my, I have that one started, too
Nice sampler start :) And love those teas - I love trying new teas out too, it's nice and refreshing in the afternoons when I'm all coffee'ed out :)
Gorgeous!!!! I do love BOAF designs :-).
Love the new start.
Great progress Cathy! Can't wait to see day #3. :)
Gorgeous choice. Love it.
I dont have this one in my stash but it has been on my "to buy and do one day" list....lol.....LOVE this piece and cannot wait to see how it progresses.....I LOVED that green tea bag you sent me!!! I am drinking a cup of tea at night now!! Today was my first day back to work.,.... Better tighten your seatbelt...My day was a doozie!! Take care, Faye
What a great sampler! I love BOAF! I love teas as well, although I stick to herbal teas. Caffeine keeps me awake.
My husband just brought home some of that tea and it's wonderful and I'm not even a tea drinker, but I love it. And I love your choice of sampler! The problem with seeing everyone's starts is that you want to start them too! Can't wait to see your progress on it.
Another great start!
Great progress! What a fun design.
I haven't got this one but I love the looks of it. I think this challenge is going to enable me!
I love STASH tea but haven't tried this one yet. My latest is their White Christmas tea. Mmmm!
I'm so excited for you, Cathy! I truly loved doing the "Happy Hearts" sampler, and I know you will, too.
Thanks for linking to my post. I have to admit when I saw it, I didn't realize how tiny the picture was, so I've edited it now to make it easier to see.
I'll have to look for that tea so I can try it. Sounds good!
I LOVE this design, and you've stitched so much already. Now I'm off to the couch with my needlework and a cuppa... LOL!!
Great start!! Another great design!!
Thought I'd pop back in to say that I found the tea. I'm drinking a cup as I type this, and I must say I quite like it! Thanks for the recommendation!!
Oh, I love this chart! :D So happy to see you working on it!
I haven't seen this chart before, it looks great and I can't wait to watch it grow. Happy stitching.
