DUCJC 2016 - Day 15 - Balloon

Good morning!

We're now at the point where, for many stitchers, this is the end of their new starts. If you've made it through to day 15 - well done! I know there are a couple of bloggers whose daily postings I shall miss.

But this is also the point at which the more mad among us carry on for another 16 days..... or longer.

Heather chose this small design for day 15. I'd been secretly willing her to select it from day one so was really glad she finally chose it. I only sat down with my needle at 11pm so here's my progress in that hour:


Odd Dog by Lili of the Valley
Stitched on 16ct Cloud Blue aida from Sewitall.com 2 over 1
Stitch count 45 wide by 85 high
Estimated stitching time 10 hours
Stitching time to date - 1 hour


Heather's away with the Scouts this weekend on what is aptly call "Frost Camp" and, yes, they're sleeping in tents! In my opinion they're all mad as the temperatures are around 0-2 degrees C! But they also have my complete admiration - even dropping her off at 9pm last night was too cold for me to handle. It was so nice returning home to a warm house and cosy bed! Toby's much more sensible and chose not to go.

Tomorrow's new start is another by the same company.

See you then!

    I love this one, so sweet and simple.

    We love camping in colder weather and the rain.

    I can see why you've been anxious to start this one. It's adorable! I don't think of you as "mad" for continuing on with the challenge, just brave! I'm glad you are, as I love seeing the new starts and will miss some of the others.

    The first half of the challenge is done. And the next half will show just as lovely projects as the first half. This one is proof of it :)))
