I took this mess--
had lots of floss to put in the right boxes and on the right hooks--
need to get all nicely clean and organized for 2013 and all the stitching things I want to do--
see that basket on the floor by the lamp???
No that one has miss gracies toys in it--
the one next to that--that is all my counted cross stitch projects for 2013 for the
Crazy challenge I am in-- I published the list on my workbasket site and another finish for today!!!!
and now look--
had trouble seeing whether I was quilting or cross stitching--
time will tell if this is going to really work!!!!
OK--
Here it is--
Di's challenge for 2013--
I am doing a 2 month challenge this time--
with a 'subject' for each 2 month period-
you can do one project or a dozen--
this is just to help you get some gifts/or personnel items made
that are on our forever "want to do" list--
January and February is wool months--
you can make what ever you want--any size project you want in wools
March and April is Kitchen months--
make aprons, dish towels,pot holders, on and on the list goes--
can use what ever medium you want--can even make soap!!!!
May and June is cotton months--
can do any craft you choose or even finish something these 2 months--
like I know I have tote bags cut and lots of bom blocks that need finishing--
July and August is personnel months--
make purses, wallets, tote bags, table runners, pincushions--
again--can use any type fabric here--or medium
September and October is fiber months--
make fleece mittens or blankets, or knit dish cloths or crochet a scarf--
and yes, fabric counts!!!
November and December is 'finish' months--
finish off what ever is not finished!!!!
and make some baked goods for gift baskets!!!
I figure those that live where you are in the real hot months now--you can start where ever you want--
want you all to keep your cool!!!!
Well--let me know what you think--
and please be honest here--
well--be kindly honest--OK??????
Hugs, love, Di and miss gracie

I think this is a great list, Di! I can make it work with other lists, too, but it gives me some direction. I just happen to have a couple of wool projects in my pile, so I'll get started in the next couple of days!
Love your list Di, and being very kindly honest here :) Just one problem... I don't think I have any wool... will need to wait till I get to Oz in Feb to do that - good thing we get two months!

Count me in! With two months for each project I might (!) be able to keep up :-)
Love your list of suggestions! And 2 months on each project sounds good,so I`ll try my best. Please count me in as well:))
This is a really good way to do a list - I've already signed up to do '1 item a month' but couldn't think where to start. I think you may have to count me in!!
Di, this is a great idea. One of the best I've seen on the internet. I think I'll play along - but I don't have any wool. So I'll use felt. Not the same but it will have to do.
Good luck on your challenges. I'm just going to plod through on those UFOs - at least for a while.
What a great idea! Please count me in!
The first challenge should be quite easy as I like to knit :-)
This is great, two months for each project. I want to join.
Hello there, I just followed a link to your blog from Oddbjorg at the 'Quiet Corner' and I love the idea of two months per project.......very do-able I think, it may also help me with the '13 sweaters in 2013' challenge at the same time.
A fab idea and a lovely blog.
