I'm not sure I completely understand the TAL check-in on the 15th and last day of the month. Whatever.
So in the theme of "Jardin January," or "work on a piece with flowers or gardens," I chose to start a new project that has been calling to me. "Karen? Oh, Karen? Please stitch a little section of me!!" Now you all know that I have such a shortage of WIPs and things kitted up, right? (Ow! I think I sprained my eyes by rolling them so far into my head.)
I managed to scratch that stitch-itch by doing the first section of Butterfly Garden from The Drawn Thread. The first flower section was "buddleia." I will mostly be using substitute Threadworx cotton floss, instead of all the silks called for. (I'd break the bank if I bought all those.) I did happen to have the Silk n' Colors Grape Melange on hand that the buddleia called for. It is soooooo pretty.

The theme for next month is:
Figural February
Who are the people in your neighborhood...your WIP neighborhood, that is? Give your people-populated projects some face time this month.
While most of what I stitch has a person in it (or fairy, goddess, mermaid, etc.), I want to make sure that I put it some stitching time to Bellydancer No.1 from Yiota's.
See you next time!

Beautiful stitching..
Love for you x
This is gorgeous, quite different to the Miras and Joans you've been showing. It's so nice to stitch a variety of styles.
The mid-month theme-a-lious post is a progress report and the end of month is a look back at the month and forward to the next month. Or the Lazy-Girl's way to make blog posts!
Very pretty. I have renewed my love with The Drawn Threads patterns and I think I need to add that pattern to my stash.
Great design choice & beautiful stitching!
Pretty :)
The theme-a-licious sounds like a nice way to change it up. I'll enjoy seeing what you are stitching each month.
Oooo thats a pretty wip :D
Wow, that is really stunning! Jo's got it right; the 15th is "check in", "progress report", or whatever you want to call it. Basically a way to keep yourself on target. Glad you're joining us this year!
Lovely start on Butterfly garden. It is going to be so very beautiful.
Beautiful! Hope you had a successful Figural February too!
