OMG I am so jelous of you all right now! hehe. I wanted to take part in this myself but after having such a terrible and fast move from Swansea to Manchester in 1 day, I left quite alot of my stash there, uncluding some of my kits and aida so there was no way I could have put together 15 projects to start right now :(

Lovely to see so many of you taking part though, should be fun. :applesauce:

I finished my first Crazy January Challenge today due to the fact that I was able to stitch for 7 hours without interruption because my husband woke up sick. To keep myself busy, I just stitch this Toby Fox with a flower by "Woodland Folk". I will be giving it to my mother for her birthday so it should be in the mail by Feb 3rd in time for her to receive it along with her gifts. The photo is in

It most definitely is 15 projects over the whole year or I wouldn't be taking part! you just have to start one each day for 15 days then complete them during the year, I think a few of us have chosen some small projects mixed in with larger ones so that we can at least complete some!!! :D
