WIPocalypse Update

 Well, it has been a very busy and exhausting month for me.  I feel as if I have just been floating in space and not really here on solid ground.  A few weeks ago, I pulled out Gathering Eggs from Mirabilia and stared at it.  I have not had one stitch in it this month.  I so wanted to start on her again, being so close to Easter, but life has just got in the way.  Here she stands, with an extra row of stitches on the right hand side.  I am not frogging a thing, but finishing her up in the forefront, then adding more stitches to the background.  Hopefully it will work out in the end.  


I have been crocheting a lot.  I find that that activity takes up less mental capacity than cross stitching, so that's my go to activity.  I am hoping to get some done on this little girl soon.  I just love her bright colors.  I think I need a little cheering up.

WIPocalypse March Update~ I am Finished

 Here she is.  She should have been done a long time ago.  I put the last couple stitches in her last night.

Jenny Bean Halloween Sampler

 I did leave out some stitching in the border.  I was finished, and no one but us will ever know.   Shhh.

I did have a nice square frame around this house somewhere.  I hope to find it and have it framed by August....Another 5 months of procrastination.

Have a happy day,

New Hat and WIPocalypse Update

First off, I just finished this hat today, and it has been a week in the making.  Not really sure if a beaver is on the top of anyone's wish list, but he is cute.  I am selling these in the shop and will hopefully write up the pattern when I have some time.  I have another hat that is finished as well, but I still need some pics.

Next up is my progress or backward progress for my WIPocalypse challenge.  I have taken out my Needlemaina 2, which is from The Sampler Life Yahoo group,  and have had to frog the bottom left corner. I was off one stitch to the left. This is why it became a UFO in the first place. I have finally finished frogging the snowflake and plan on continuing on tonight in front of the TV watching Downton Abbey.  I missed the first season, and I even missed the reruns last month...UGH.  I found out about it last summer and can't wait to watch.  I don't have Netflix, but my sister does, and I hope to get over there soon and start watching the first season.   Here are the pics of my before and after frogging.

The first full moon post over a Measi's is tomorrow, so I am right on top of it.  I'm excited to get more stitching done this year.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful Sunday Evening,

WIPocalypse

A little late, but here is my list for Measi's WIPocalypse
I am really hoping this year to get some stitching done.  Last year was taken over by crochet, which will definitely be part of this year, but I would love to get some of these done.  Here's hoping.
