I did manage to find a plastic ornament to put my 2019 orts into. I ended up buying 2 in case I couldn't find one next year. And lets hope I remember where I put the second one if needed.
January was a good stitching month for me. When it is cold out I don't need any excuse to spend time stitching. As the weather gets nicer, I will struggle to make time to stitch.
Dandelion Fairy Kingdom I started on page 2. I am using this piece for the 20,000 stitches in 2020 at Full Coverage Fanatics. I put in 2,102 stitches in January. On target to reach 20,000 by the end of the year.
Faces of Faery 90. I finished up page 3 and started on page 4. Two full pages and one partial page and this one will be done. I had hoped to finish it in 2020 as a bonus finish. But I got off count on page 4 and I need to rip out that large blob of black under the orange. I had stitched 966 stitches in January and need to rip out about 500. I am disgusted with my self and will put this one in time out until I am ready to rip out the stitches and move on. I have plenty of other projects to work on.
Little Fairies at Play. It was my personal goal to finish this one in 2020. I had 6 partial pages to stitch to finish it. I thought they would be much smaller pages. I did finish page 19 in January for a total of 3,040 stitches. I will really have to push to get a page finish each month on this one. Page 19 had alot of large blocks of color so it went pretty fast.
I worked on Jingle Bell Pals for 2 hrs during a class I took (helps me to stay awake during the lecture). 223 stitches. I am going to try and track my stitches for each project I work on in 2020 along with my hours.
For January I have a total of 6,331 stitches completed with 6 more days to go. I am not sure what project I will work on for the next 6 days.
And here are my orts so far for January.
As part of WIPOCALYPSE Measi also asks us a monthly question. This month we are to share what SAL's we are participating in for 2020.
Besides WIPOCALYPSE I am participating in 20,000 stitches in 2020 as part of the Full Coverage Fanatics facebook group. I am also participating in their National Park challenge where you need to complete 4,000 stitches on your chosen project to move onto the next National Park. I am using Dandlelion Fairy Kingdom for this challenge also and hope to complete my first park by the end of February.
That was my month. I feel like I accomplished alot. Only one missed day of stitching so far.
I have been watching Tranquil Stitches pick from her stash for her Maynia starts. I now have the urge to rummage thru my charts and get some kitted up.
