DUCJ Challenge 2015

I have never participated in the Cross Stitch Crazy Challenge before, but I found the group on Facebook recently, and just had to join.  The idea is to start (and/or work on) 15 projects for the first 15 days of January, and then hopefully finish those 15 projects throughout the coming year.

This year, in honor of Debbie, a longtime blogger and social media stitcher who passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack this year, many people are upping the challenge to Debbie's Ultimate Crazy January Challenge, where you will work on a different project for every day in January.  Although I didn't know Debbie (unfortunately I didn't really join the social stitching community until after she had passed) I think I'm up to the challenge of doing 31 projects.

1st draft of final list (projects in no particular order).  Scroll down to see the actual projects completed for each day.  "Maybe" projects previously listed on this page have been moved to my new Bucket List page.
