Sun Oh Sun Where Art Thou?

We have been having rain and colder temperatures the past few days. It is better than snow and ice, but I am waiting on some sunshine..
I went to LNS to pick up a couple skeins DMC. Big mistake. I have been wanting Blackbird Designs Pumpkin Time. I just love the colors in this design. Guess what I came home with?
They also had a basket with discontinued colors of Weeks Dye Works. I got 18 skeins for $4.00.

I have a little progress on Sixteen Birds by Karen Kluba of Rosewood Manor. I put Real Roses away for a while so I wouldn't get burned out on it.

 I am stitching on something for a gift. I cannot show a picture or say what it is or who it is for because I think the recipient might read my blog. I am also going to see if I can get another band finished on this one.
I am setting more goals for February.  I really would like to stitch at least one Valentine design. I would also like to finish one of my Fifteen Challenges.

Buffy and Abbey have two beds but this is the one they fight over. Neither one will sleep in the other one. Abbey settled in for a long nap while Buffy was looking so sad.

Sixteen Birds - Day One

The year started out in slow motion. For some reason I couldn't get to sleep last night.I spent New Years Eve home alone with Buffy and Abbey. My DS had to work. He works 12 hour shifts 6 pm to 6 am.
When he came home we had breakfast and I slept til 11 o'clock. I watched the Rose Bowl Parade and started stitching the first of my 15 selections for the 2011 Crazy January Challenge

I really like this one and it is going to be hard to put it down and start something else. I am stitching it on 28 Count Lugana over 2 with DMC Floss. I started stitching in the upper left hand corner.

I hope everyone had a Happy New Year and got some stitching done.
