Year of Starts: Rest of November 320 -334

I have to be honest....updating 2 months of cross stitch starts in one night is tiring. This is what I get for being a huge procrastinator. As I update, I am cleaning out my DVR by watching all my recorded Christmas movies from both Hallmark  channels.  I was supposed to do this on Thanksgiving break but we had company all week and they didn't like Hallmark movies....long story.

So..here are all my starts in November.

Year of Starts: Disney Dreams Starts 311 -319

So these are the starts that have driven me crazy!!!  I didn't have enough fabric for one of the kits.  Then I realized I didn't have enough floss bags to kit up all the kits...UGH!!  But I love how they have each started!!!  I have started 3 previous kits this year:  Snow White, Fantasia and Pinnocchio

I have changed out all the fabric to 28 count evenweave

November Year of Starts: 305- 310

So this month kicked my behind.  I wasn't as organized as I usually am and was really struggling to get my act together.   I was in a car wreck on Oct 29th and I wasn't hurt just my car.  I stopped and the guy behind me did not stop.  Basically for the entire month I was dealing with insurance agencies about my car.   I had my month planned out but when I went to do my start I realized I didn't have my floss separated for my Disney kits like I should have and some fabric wasn't cut....so I had to rearrange my starts.


Start 305:  Mill Hill  Home for the Holidays Stitched on 14 count sparkly fabric
