Still Crabby in 2013

Hey Blog Buddies,
Thanks for all the great comments you've been leaving!  I really do appreciate them so much!

Raise the Roof Designs' Crabby All Year is one of those rare projects from my 2012 WIPocalypse list that made the jump with me from 2012 to 2013.  It is still very much a WIP, and I finished up December this week:

That blue on the check is a bit brighter than in real life.

The amount on the check is "2MUCH" -- heheh.

There was an error on the chart that I didn't catch:

the pen was supposed to be blue (as in their photo)

but the color listed on the chart was salmon.

I know, no big deal.

But the coins on the bottom were charted as copper pennies

which I thought might "clash" with the pink,

so I changed them to nickels and a dime.

I have no idea why the buttons for the month

are little flowers, but they are.

I am growing a little weary of this lovely BAP,

but not to worry:

I intend to keep plugging along.

Only three more months to go!

And the header.

And all the buttons.

Oh, and I'm changing the size of the word for May.

It looks like 2013 will be the Year of Halloween

here at The Southpaw Stitcher.

I joined Lainey's 2013 Halloween Ornament SAL,

and we are doing one ornament a month.

The theme for January is pumpkins.

I'll be working on my January ornament this weekend.

So hopefully I will not be whining about

how I need more ornies for my Halloween tree come October.

(If I do, just slap me!)

Speaking of stitching for 2013,

there's a list of this year's goals under my blog header.

It's longish, but I don't think it's as unrealistic as last year's.

Or maybe I'm being delusional.

And it's good for a laugh.

That's it from here.

Have a great, stitchy weekend!

And thanks for visiting!
