My September WIPocalypse Progress

It is time for another WIPocalypse Update!  I am nearing a finish on my "Halloween Pumpkin".  It is from the Just CrossStitch 2012 Halloween Issue and is stitched on 28 ct Cashell linen.  I hope to have this project completed by Halloween this year.

I also made quite a bit of progress on my Bothy Threads Cut thru' Gypsy Wagon.

And a little progress on my Long Dog Pandemic Sampler.

I am working on my WIPs and hope to have a few finishes by the end of the year.  Slow progress is better than no progress.

Happy Stitching!

My July WIPocalypse Update

                                 Bothy Threads cut thru' Haunted House

 It's time for another WIPocalypse update!  AND I have finishes!  I worked on Bothy Threads cut thru' Haunted House for the entire month of July, and it paid off.  

When I started the project in 2019, I took the light blue Aida that came with the kit and did a little dyeing to enhance it. This was one of my all time favorite projects to stitch.  I love all the little details.  

The other finish I have is an original design that I created to make a gift for my sister.  I stitched this cute puppy on plastic canvas, backed it with felt and turned it into a keyring.

Question of the Month:  What are the fully finished pieces (framed or other finish style) that you are most satisfied that you have done?

My holiday banners are some of my favorite finishes.  I like to swap them out as the seasons change.  I hope to make some more banners in the future. 

That's all for this month's update.  I'm happy to be stitching more and making progress on my projects.

Happy stitching!

My June 2025 WIPocalypse Update

Butterfly Forest

It has been a full year since I have posted a WIPocalypse update.  I have been battling eye problems for the past couple of years, which seem to have now stabilized.  I have a new pair of glasses, which are enabling me to see better and stitch easier.  Yay!  So ... I am once again making progress on my long list of WIPs.

I have been revisiting projects and here are the ones in which I have made the most progress:

Bothy Threads Cut thru' Gypsy Wagon currently:

Hopefully I will continue to make good progress and have a few finishes soon.  I don't plan on starting any new big projects this year, but will make a few ornaments before the holiday season.

Once again, "Happy Stitching!"

My June WIPocalypse Update

Time for another WIPocalypse update. This month I made progress on 4 projects including my "Candy Nutcracker" stocking shown above. I finished stitching the ice cream cone this month.

 

I also stitched on "Linen Sampler", making a few inches of progress on the border.

I finished the stitching on the red and white striped bunting on my "Summer Sampler" by Sandy Orton.

I also stitched on my "Autumn Sampler" by Sandy Orton.  I finished the marbles and tape measure on the lower right hand border.

So ... some progress was made this month.  Even though I didn't make time to stitch every day, I think I am doing better than I have during previous months.

Topic of the month: Half-year recap:  How are you doing with your goals so far this year?

This year has been tough.  I didn't set any goals, and am just happy to be able to stitch at all.  I am happy with any progress I have made, and hope to be back to goal setting and more regular stitching soon.

I look forward to seeing what everyone has been working on!

Happy Stitching!
