1st YOTA of the year!!

Actually yesterday was the first YOTA of the year, but my plans got changed, so I did a little stitching yesterday evening and did some more this morning:) I was going to get the groceries today and have yesterday as an ALL DAY STITCH fest!!! But, hmm, I checked the weather forecast for today and decided that I didn't really want to get out in it:) Not that it was warm yesterday, but at 32 yesterday and 15 today, I think I made the right choice. I know that's not near as bad as some of you are getting it right now, but it is plenty cold enough for me!! :0)

Last year I worked on Marjolein Bastin's 'The Four Seasons' as my YOTA project and I did get a ways on it, though not as far as I'd hoped. I knew I wouldn't come anywhere near finishing it and this year I would like to work on something I have a chance of getting finished. I shared on my 'Something Old/Something New' post a few days ago that I was starting Bent Creek's 'Winter Snapperland' as my new project, so I decided that as my YOTA project I would work on Bent Creek's 'Spring Snapperland' that I started a couple years ago. At least one of them should get done this way!!!

Here is where I started off...


And this is where I left off earlier today...


This will be a pretty easy project to stitch up, just need to put some time into it:)

For those who do not know, YOTA is a Sal found on 'Pull the Other Thread' blog. If you want to jump in and join along, please feel free:)

And for a list and quick explanation of all the Challenges and Sals that I'm participating in this year, visit my post 'A New Year with New Sals and Challenges!!!'.
