GIVEAWAY

My 4 year blogoversary was in January and I have just reached 400 followers.  Thank you all for reading my blog and leaving me such awesome comments.

I am going to  be having a little contest.  Guess how many TOTAL UFO's/WIP's that I have right now through March 31, 2015.  A couple rules:

1.  Be a follower old or new.

2.  Leave your answer on this post only.  The person that comes the closest wins.  Last years winner guessed the exact number. (I get to play too because I don't know how many I have.)  lol  Only 1 guess per person.  I will keep this open through April 15.

You can choose which prize you would like.  Please tell me which prize you would like in your comment.

1.  A $20.00 give certificate to 123 Stitch.

2.  A little stitchy surprise package.

3.  This is my Mini Rings of Change Lapghan (I need to finish).  You can have this one.  I would love to crochet another one in your color choices or you could pick just one color (sorry, I cannot see to crochet with dark colors).  Or, I have a couple other granny square type patterns that I really want to make.

Put on your thinking caps and come up with the right number.

Thanks for looking.   Linda

PS  Somehow or another I got roped into doing a third A - Z Challenge.  I may fall flat on my face the first week. :D

A - Z Challenge Theme Reveal

Well, I decided that I didn't have enough to stitch on, so I decided to join the A - Z challenge.  You pick a theme and post everyday in April except Sundays.  April 1 is letter A, April 2 is letter B, etc.  I'm not just doing one, I'm doing 2.  (No smarts here whatsoever.)  Both charts are available on Etsy.

The first one is:

DISNEY ALPHABET SAMPLER BY CLOUDS FACTORY

The second one is:

CHRISTMAS CAROL ALPHABET ABC BY FANGIRL STITCHES

I'm very excited to be doing this challenge.  Kate is going to be doing it with me so we can support each other along with all the other craziness that we're doing.

See you on April 1 for the challenge.  

Linda

Linda's March Turtle Trot Update and Starts 65 - 68

Hi Blogger Friends.   It's time for my turtle trot update.  This is a SAL being hosted by Claudette of BAP Attack.  We pick 10 projects to work on throughout the year and see how many we can finish.  I stitched on 4 yesterday, 3 on Sunday and the other 3 this past week.
Kate is doing a rotation on hers and it seems to be working really well for her.  You start on the 11th and stitch on one piece for 3 days.  Pick another one and stitch on it for 3 days etc.  Some days you  may only have time to work on one  but at least they will all get some  stitching on them.

You have to admit that I'm pretty darn consistent with my crooked pictures.

1.  Seasonal Cat Welcome - Diane Arthurs - I did the rest of the purple cloak.

2.  Pretty Little New York - Satsuma Street - I finished the blue on the building on the top right.

3.  Disney Heroe's #16 - Alina's XStitch - I added more to the tree trunk.

4.  Winter Alphabet - Lizzie Kate - I did the letter "G".

5.  Mitten Friends - Diane Arthurs - I finished his had and started his face.

6.  Mermaid Myrna - Diane Arthurs - I did another 100 stitches in her face.

7.  Autumn Season - Sandra Cozzolino - I stitched "Leaves".

8.  ABC Christmas - Lizzie Kate - I did another word.

9.  March Sampler - Waxing Moon Designs - I finished the cloud.

10.  6 Fat Men - Lizzie Kate - I did more snow.

Believe it or not, I'm starting to get tired of the starts.  BUT, I will prevail and finish them for the month. Remember when I said I would finish 1 and start 5.  I changed my mind and will maybe finish 2 and start 1. Of course that is subject to change.  lol
Here are my next 4 starts:

Start 65 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - Clouds Factory

Start 66 - Cinderella - Clouds Factory

Start 67 - Mickey Mouse and Friends - Clouds Factory

Start 68 - Doggy String - Lizzie Kate

Thanks for looking.    Linda
