A little finishing for me this week...after the pig I decided to start something small and i choose this Margaret Sherry cat from my stash..I think it's cute don't you?

#3

I would like to show you my last finishing: Pig Must Fly by Margaret Sherry….This word fit perfectly with my conditions!!! I’m not completely satisfied by the end results there is a lot of mistakes and imprecision due to the fact I used 3 strand of treads for the pink part as suggested on the magazine….awful choice

#2

I finished the Peekaboo kid …she is nice doesn’t she? In next issue of TWOCS there will be an other kid of the series I’m itching to see and stitch her

#1

This is a card I sent Jenn for her birthday …This is a pattern by Barbara Barret from issue 182 of Cross Stitcher…usually I don’t like flower chart but when I saw this one I think it is very cute and original…so I stitch it (since this chart come from my stash I can consider it my first finished piece for the 25 pieces challenge)

Rules

I take up a challenge by Haturtorres to stitch 25 (the original number is 50 but it’s too high for me) pieces before I buy any more stash. I find this challenge time ago on Jenn’s blog and I think it’s perfect for me!!! Here are her rules for the challenge.

Purpose of the challenge: to reduce the amount of patterns you have not stitched. This challenge can also be applied to other areas of you stash if you wish (please post your personal modification).
The Rules:
1. Have fun reducing your stash.
2. There is no time limit- people have different size projects they would like to work on.
3. Thou shall not purchase any new patterns until 10, 25, or 50 projects have been stitched. Pattern size does not matter.
4. This challenge can also apply to knitting, beading, sewing and crocheting patterns.
5. You can make some exemptions - I am not placing limitations on this due to commitments that people might already have. Remember, though, the goal of this challenge is to reduce stash so too many exemptions will sabotage these efforts.
6. Gifts, gift cards, trades, RAKs and patterns bought with gift money are not a violation of this challenge.
7. Freebies count as part of your total and you can aquire them at any point.
8. The offical start date of this challenge was Sept 1, 2006 since I have been posting about it for awhile and want to make sure the everyone's projects have been included.

Only exemptions…the patterns of the magazine I'm subscribed.

I’ll post soon the list of the pattern I’ll stitch in this challenge.
