Here is my January 1st start - LHN's Home of a Needleworker. I switched out the DMC for GAST Cinnamon, not a lot of variegation but I love the colour. And not a bad start either!
I tried taking a picture first, and even though we are having a bright sunny day (YEAH) but cold -12 degrees C, my picture still came out dark and gloomy. Must be something on the settings that I haven't got quite right. Once I figure it out, I think I'll retake my WIP photos, they are awful and certainly aren't encouraging me to continue with them.
We went out for a wonderful New Year's Day brunch with Carrie and JF and some of their friends who were still recuperating from the celebrations of the night (and morning). But today its back to work and back to the drudgery for me, although the teenagers are still in bed of course. I don't expect to see them until past noon. Well they might as well enjoy their last few days of holiday.

SUPER start Wendy ;)
Lunch out sounds like a great thing...we've been eating leftovers...but I *think* they are finally gone...and today it's something new!
What a great start for the New Year Wendy. This is such a pretty pattern.
Wishing you and all your loved ones a Happy and Healthy 2008.
Love that cinnamon colour...so warm.
I wish the sun would come out here...the snow runs into the grey sky with little to no distinction.
Hope all your stitching goals are met in 2008!
Happy New Year Wendy :) Sounds like you had a great holiday!

Nice start for the new year Wendy. You sure have some beautiful pieces as WIP's. I purchased Sampler Gameboard recently.Your progress encourages me to think about adding it to my WIP's.
I am glad that you are finally able to start Paradigm. We are happy to have you with us.
LHN is a great start to the New Year! I'm checking out my stash to see what I can come up with.
I hope 2008 brings you and your family many blessings!
Cute start, Wendy!
