Goooooood morning, sports fans! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season so far. I have made little progress on my Thread Basket SAL and have even started yet another project. I have decided that I am going to treat the
2012 WIPocalypse hosted by Measi as a Bacchanalian free for all fest. I have all of my WIP and UFO bags dragged out and on stand by. I am going to start with the projects that are in my stitching area and then I am just going to grab one out of the bags and GO. I am NOT going to make any lists of specific projects to get done, because when I did that this year, I was less than successful. As in I only completed FOUR out of the TWENTY ONE I had wanted to do. For the most part, this also means going on the wagon and not buying a anything other than the odd floss that I ran out of and/or didn't have. I may buy the odd chart now and then, because let's face it, we are spoiled enough to have wonderful designers who manage to produce such lovely things, and Nashville Market is in a few months, and you know what THAT means. Guaranteed stitchy goodness and probably overtime for me to pay for it. :D
At any rate, here is what I have so far on my stitching:
WIP #1:

Well, I am off for now. I have a mild headache and looking at the computer screen is hurting my eyes a bit. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday with all joy, peace, and lots of eats and treats! :)

Oh, I love your La Belle Etoile - your chosen colours are stunning - so much so that it make me want to do mine a second time in different colours. I love lavender.

Both of your WIP are very nice. Good luck on meeting your stitching goals in 2012.
La Belle Etoile is turning out absolutely gorgeous! I love the purples!
Good plan on the WIPocalypse, I've tried to be more organized with the Crazy January challenge for 2012. Thanks for sharing!
