my April WIPocalypse Update

It's time for another WIPocalypse update ... and I am starting my update with a finish.

Orchid Intrigue by Beth Ann Seal

I just this morning finished "Orchid Intrigue" by Beth Ann Seal of Summer House Stitche Workes.  This chart was featured in the February 2015 issue of Just Cross Stitch.

I also stitched an ornament for the Christmas Ornie SAL.  This ornament is chart-less, as I just sort of worked it out as I stitched.  I added some red and clear glass beads for a bit of sparkle.

I managed to work on a several different projects this month including my Dutch Sampler and American Sampler (shown in my last post), as well as the following:

We are about 1/3 of the way through the year ... I have worked on 15 of my 51 WIPs and have completed 2 of them, as well as 7 new ornaments.  Not too bad! 

Topic of the Month:  What do you listen to while stitching?
I typically watch movies or binge watch TV shows while I stitch.

Happy Stitching!
