October WIPocalypse


 It is hard to believe it is October already.  I am still working from home and enjoying it.


As  part of Measi's WIPocalypse group, we have a question to answer each month.  This month's question is:  How do you choose what you’re going to stitch on next?  I have my main project I stitch each month which is Dandelion Fairy Kingdom.  I devote weekends to that project.  I did have a rotation but this year I have just been stitching which ever project grabs my attention during the week.  I do have quite a few projects kitted up.  Whenever I feel like a new start I just look thru them and grab the one I am in the mood for.  I have looked at my kitted up projects and said what was I thinking I don't want to stitch this and then I unkit it.  That has only happened once.

And here is the progress I have made this month:


Crane Paradise I finished the sun and have started on the tree branches..

Dandelion Fairy Kingdom I finished page 4 and page 5 was a partial page.  I almost have it done.  I am going to continue working on it this week with the hopes of finishing this page before 11/1/20.  Then I will put this project away and work on my other HAED Faces of Faery 90 for the remaining weekends in the year.

I worked on Freedom the end of September and the beginning of October.  The M is about half done.  There will be alot of backstitching on this one.

I did have to visit my LNS to get more floss for Dandelion Fairy Kingdom.  And of course I bought more than floss:


I got this Owl mill hill kit.

And this Waxing Moon chart.

Here are my orts for the year


I feel like I have done more stitching this year than other years.

I too am feeling the call to make some stitching plans for 2021. I want to make some realistic goals and hope for a finish or two with progress on all my WIPs. 

I forgot a project.  I worked on Cowslip.  I am really enjoying working on a small project.  I think this is what motivated me to purchase the Waxing Moon chart.  Here is my progress:
