a dance and a double challenge...

I have a little mini happy dance to share... its so tiny that I had a really hard time getting a proper picture of it... this one isn't the greatest, but you can see it :O)

this is the R.I.P freebie by the Stitcherhood (available if you click here). I stitched it up on Halloween night, and was a fun little stitch.

I'm not sure what I'm going to actually do with it, as it turned out so tiny... but I think I may restitch it and make it bigger. This one is stitched over one on 25ct moss green lugana - the picture definitely doesn't do it justice as the colour of the fabric doesn't come through...

Now on the the challenges... the first one is the Christmas Ornament Challenge... both Barbi and I joined this one being held by BeckySC, and basically you stitch Christmas ornaments starting November 1 through to December 31, 2011. I'm hoping by joining this I will be able to actually stitch up some ornaments ahead of time and not leave them till the last minute like I always tend to do...

However, I'm thinking it maybe a bit more difficult than I originally thought, as I'm not quite in the Christmas mood yet, and have an urge to stitch fall and Halloween themed things right now (yes I know I'm a bit late with the Halloween stuff, but there is always next year!) But I guess that is part of the challenge!

The second challenge, and again both Barbi and I are going to give this a shot is NaBloPaMo or National Blog Posting Month... we are going to try and post on our blogs every day for the month of November! I've seen lots of bloggers do this through out the years, and have always wanted to give it a shot, but have never jumped in before. Well this year is the year! wish me luck, and I hope I won't bore you to tears with my posts... Hmmm I could try and catch up on the photohunt challenge I started earlier this year and sort of fell way behind on, as a way to keep the posts going... but we'll see... So far so good! I'm 2 for 2!!
