25 Days of Christmas Stitchalong: Day 2

Here's my second square: a Christmas bell.  I was pretty excited about this square when I sketched it, but the execution was harder than I imagined.  I'm actually not thrilled with how it turned out; I thought about ripping it all out and re-doing it but then I decided not to.  This is supposed to be a fun an festive project!  So, I'm not going to worry about making it all perfect.  Hope you're enjoying your stitching!  :)

Important Poll -- Your Expert Stitching Opinions Needed!


Hi stitching friends!  I've been gone for quite awhile -- not only from this blog, but from my stitching as well.  My counting my blessings project is still kind of floundering, but I do miss my stitching.

I've been tossing around an idea for a few weeks now, and I wanted to get your opinions.  I've been thinking of hosting a Christmas or holiday-themed stitch-a-long.  Something small and defined (like 25 days/squares).  I know that the holidays are such a busy time, already so packed with projects and a million things to do.  But the idea of stitching a bit each night during the holidays appeals to me.

So, the question is: does it appeal to you?  I'd like to get an idea whether anyone would be interested in another collaborative stitching project before I spend time trying to organize it.  (By the way, I contacted Amy Powers and asked her if she was planning to do a holiday stitching project.  She said she did not have one planned, and gave me her blessing to go ahead.)  So, I'd love to hear your opinions, thoughts, ideas, comments!  Please leave a comment here or on my other blog, Dishy Vintage.

Thanks, and happy stitching!
