Are you ready?

Tomorow is the day to start the Crazies! I finally decided on which to start first....how about you. Stop back tomorrow to see which I have chosen.......
Happy New Year to all.....

Let the countdown begin

As I travelled through blog land, it was nice to read that everyone had a wonderful holiday. So, now, we begin not the countdown to Santa....no....we begin the countdown to Crazy Challenge! I am so ready! If anyone is hosting a special blog for this, let us know so we can post it and follow you there......I have a few posted at my sidebar....be sure to check them out. If you are participating anyway, leave me a note so that I will jot it down.Thanks for visiting today......

A visit to The Attic

Well, shopped at The Attic today...I think, I am sure,  well I will let you know once I check...again...if I now have everything for the Challenge! I especialy like one of the linen colors I chose for one of the projects....as usual, the ladies were very helpful. I think I will start to take the project pictures and then they will be ready to post each day...that is if, and I do mean if I have everything this time.

thanks for stopping by, let's chat again real soon...........

Changes and I thought I had it ready

I thought I had all but a few DMC floss, I know I need a couple of pieces of Linen and specialty threads.....but when I decided to do a double check this morning, well, I am still missing 3 DMC floss and I just purchased some when I went to work yesterday at JoAnn's! What happened I ask.....since I already discarded the list I made, I can not tell you why I did not get what I needed. Then, my good friend Ziz gave me a lovely card for Christmas with a pattern for a Hardanger Angel. I just have to add it to the Challenge....so off the list comes Cross Wings Collection #15 and add The Hardanger Angel from Cross "N Patch. My goal is to get to The Attic Needlework maybe Tuesday to get the last of the supplies. Well, thanks for listening...

Everything in place...

Well, finally put each project in it's envelope, put in the fabric and the floss and sometimes beads, and then into binders..and it only took 2 hours! I also have a new list of a few things to pick up, but each one is ready for the start. Are you? I hope you will be following along with my projects and progress. If you are one of the Crazies let me know so that I can follow your progress too.

My solution

As many have mentioned..how to organize this Crazy project?! Well, I found my solution at Staples. These clear plastic envelopes that fit into a binder are how I plan to keep things in order.

They are inexpensive and fit into a binder....speaking of which, the store had a clearence table by the registers and there were these binders for 50 cents! I really like the way you can clearly see what is in each folder. the envelope flap sticks with velcro. Now, the task of getting out the label maker to mark each folder and split them into the 2 binders......that will be this weekend. I will be ready to start the posts on January 1st.

Thanks for stopping by....

New pattern to add~~~~

Just received another for my challenge list: Every time a Bell Rings from The Sampler Girl. I still am undecided on a couple ...so the list may change. The list of Crazies is growing...this should be fun......my motto...We Can Do It! Of course I have Melvin to watch that I do!

Crazy January 2011 Challenge

Well, starting January 1st, and everyday through January 15th, many of us...we are Crazy....will start a new project each day with the hope knowledge that we will finish each of them by the end of the 2011 year. Whew.....we can do it. So check back soon to see my list of projects.
