Speaking of next year's stitching... Here's my Crazy basket. :-) I have each project pattern and fabric in a mesh or ziplock bag, along with any overdyed floss that is called for. The bag on the right is all of the DMC that I need to wind onto bobbins. I'm sure that after stitching for 30+ years I have most if not all of the colors already, but I have developed some allergies/intolerances - to cat and wheat especially - and using my older floss, along with some fabrics, seems to cause problems. So... I'm starting from scratch to prevent any reactions. If any of you are interested in two boxes of DMC floss, let me know! :-)
Don't forget about my giveaway! It's a post or two down now...
Blessings!

Well it looks like you are getting it all together. I still need to get a few floss and a few pieces of fabric....just "found" another that I really want to stitch! I have to stop going through things!
Tricia, LOVE the LHN piece (no kidding, right?). It's so pretty. I love charts with sheep in them, too. You are brave to join the challenge. I wish you well and will be watching and cheering you on. I have the same budget contraints that you do, unfortunately my grandchildren don't appreciate stitching as gifts. :) Oh well, their loss. Looking forward to pics of your challenge stitching. Cathryn
Hmm, I really like the basket idea for storing your projects. I put mine all in a bag that I carry around everywhere I go. They all fit in there right now, but I'm afraid they are going to get smashed in there. And I like to use that bag to take projects with me, but don't know that I need to carry around 15 projects all the time:) I'll have to look around for a basket now (in fact, I'm pretty sure I have a basket just like yours somewhere:).

Love your stitching, really pretty!
Hi Tricia!
I'm also taking part to Crazy January, allthought haven't yet picked much stash to stitch. Thought I have lots of LHN and CCN patters with floss so I might statr "few" of them :)
So sad to hear about your allergies, I had to go back to school have another occupation because of them!
It will be nice to see what's everybody stitching for CJ challenge, but there is so many of us, that it will be hard to keep in track :)
Ps. I'm little pit interested about those floss (and fabrics?)
Lovely WIP, love sheep. You are really getting organised for the 'crazies'
