Crazy January Challenge: Day Three

Star Light Star Bright
Little by Little Designs
DMC floss
R&R Blue Moon Java 35-count linen

True confessions: I had actually started this when the girls went to Kleinfeld's to buy my sister's wedding dress. We took a local train from New Jersey, and I planned to stitch on the train. Unfortunately, it was a local train. It was a little hard to stitch, so I didn't get very far that day.

Last night, however, I got to that singular purple color (DMC 3746). Love it! This one is so colorful.

This morning I went to see who some of my followers are. Many of you I know and read, but many others were new to me (and many of you have been added to my reader). What a motley crew you are! Everyone from feminists to stay-at-home homeschooling Christian moms. Okay that makes it seem like those two are complete opposed which they aren't necessarily. (They just are in my experience.) Honestly, I'm not sure I understand it but hey, it's good to have you at the party.

Nice fabric!
What I like about blogs is that so many people from a wondrous variety of backgrounds can all get together and be pleasant to each other... whether feminists, stay at homes, or feminist stay at homes!

Love that purple.

Not necessarily opposed: I believe I do know one stay-at-home christian feminist mom! She doesn't homeschool, though. Her son is only 2!

I can't quite picture the design yet from this, though I dutifully gave it the tilted-head-puzzled-look stare. I like to guess what your patterns will look like eventually, wheel-of-fortune-educated-guessing style.

Okay, Anna, this has got to stop! I keep seeing these FABULOUS starts on different blogs that I LOVE ... and that I actually have (unstitched!!) in my stash. Because this one you've begun is one of my faves and I've had it kitted up for about 5 years, it is here that I must draw the line. LOL. Great start. Betcha you get yours done before I even get mine started!

What a great color--is it that intense IRL?

I think I'll have to start my own category, which is Editors Who Also Stitch. (We both fit that definition, don't we?) I'm not an official follower, but I am an unofficial one. I haven't declared myself a follower of any blog, but because my Google Reader works so well, I'm still a regular visitor to many, yours included.

I am a relatively new follower of your blog and I must say, Anna, I always smile or laugh - out loud. Love looking at your new projects - keep the photos coming!

Michelle said...

OOh, pretty start! Love the colors.

Linen Stitcher...only in so far as it is a career option. :(

I love the fabric color, as well. The purple against it with the light outline is lovely!

As for your response to Linen Stitcher, keep your chin up! A great job will come your way and you're laying down the foundation with the networking you been doing.
