Friday night, I went for it. I decided to stitch something for thing-a-day. And I did:
This pattern is a French freebie available here (biscornu indien). I used threads from Sharon B, the ones I won for guessing how long her sampler was. I used the one fourth from the bottom, but I only used one ply since it was too thick for the fabric. (The project referenced in that old post is on the list for the Thing-a-Day, so you may see it yet!)
Trapped inside during the blizzard, I thought I could whip up an even bigger stitched piece for Saturday's Thing-a-Day. Unfortunately, I dicked around a lot: read blogs, played on facebook, took the dog out in the snow, and I didn't spend nearly enough time on this to get it done. It's a freebie (not online) from Crescent Colours called "swirlygirls" and you know how I love me some spirals. Unfortunately there is a big ole mistake in the spiral on the right of the flower and I don't know if the circle will meet, so I need to come around on the left. I am putting this aside however. This is Thing 6, fail.
However, I did manage to make something yesterday.
I also made a little video of Stella playing in the snow. If you are my facebook friend, you can find it there. So I guess I made a couple of things yesterday. Go me!

Your lasagna has me intrigued. And drooling.
A Thing-A-Day, eh? Sounds tempting, but I know I can't do it. The swirly freebie is just lovely.
Mmm, yummy! I love the new little spirals too - how fun!
Oooh ... spirals. That's very cute. In fact, all of your things are impressive.
I'm terribly jealous of your days trapped in your house. I love to be trapped in my house by snow. It's been quite a while since that happened here, but I keep hoping for it.
Your Thing a Day is coming along so well. I have several larger projects on the go at the moment, so they will not count at all. Keep going!
Your Thing A Day looks like it's coming along well. Interesting take on the lasanga! I am always intrigued by the way the Irish & British make it, with a flour or 'white sauce' as a substitute for the cheese.
We even differ on lasagne and isn't the world a better and richer place for it? I never knew there were different lasagnes, apart from veggie/meaty. I have led a sheltered life, it's an education reading your blog! Yours look delish :)
Thing a Day is going well, like the thread colour in the first and the swirls in the second.
The swirls get to me. I messed up the second attempt at swirlygigs for your challenge and just left it. Of course, yours is a symmetrical design, so the screw it mentality might not work out so well there. Nice colors, though. And nice finish on the biscornu. Now you just have to finish it. ;) Maybe that could count as another "thing?"
