Once again I am participating in the WIPocalypse stitch along. Goal is to finish (or make progress) on your projects before the end of time. I have been participating since the beginning but my 2012 page somehow got deleted. You can find information on WIPocalypse here:https://measi.net/measiblog/wipocalypse_main/2021-wipocalypse-info/
For this post we are to introduce ourselves, our projects and goals for 2021.
I am Cathy living in North East Indiana, married with 2 grown children and cats. I am still working from home which is giving me more stitching time.
I currently have 7 active WIPs and one UFO that I cannot locate. Pine Cone Sampler was put aside as I struggled with the specialty stitches on Linen. I currently do not know where it is hiding. But if it re-appears I will put some more stitches in it and get a picture.
Dandelion Fairy Kingdom is a long term project. For 2021 I am using this project for the 21,000 in 2021 challenge in Full Coverage Stitchers and Stitching Around Iceland. I hope to finish another 5 pages which would be another row.
Faces of Faery 90 I need to complete page 5 and page 6 which is a partial page. I plan on finishing this in 2021. This will be my second HAED finish.
Bless our Harvest is almost completed and I hope to finish in 2021.
Butterfly Fairy Night my goal is just to make more progress on this one. It is a struggle as it is on evenweave and I got off with my stitches in places so I have to compensate as I go.
Freedom I would like to finish 2 letters in 2021.
Crane Paradise my goal is just to make progress
Lets Mingle & Jingle which I just started in December 2020 I want to make progress on.
Possible new starts in 2021 (and this list keeps changing )
Cat's Paw from Treasures in Needlework. This is a companion piece to Cowslip. There is a third piece with a horse but I won't be doing that one I still have enough material left from Cowslip to stitch Cats Paw and it is kitted and ready to go. If we get to travel this year, I will take this with me as a travel project.
Hodgepodge Soup from Cross Country Stitching October 2013. I like the bright colors in this one.
QS Red Maple Fairy by Jasmine Becket-Griffith and HAED. I need to kit this one up to take the place of Faces of Faery 90 when I finish. While looking for my next HAED I had to dig thru 3 tubs of patterns, magazines and kits. Oh my. I really did not know I had that much. I have about 10 more HAED patterns.
Storybook Animals from Treasures in Needlework Fall 1992 and Winter 1992. Eventually I want to stitch all 4. I just need to pick one and get it kitted up.
Romantic Toad Scissor Fob. I finished the main piece and just need to do the scissor fob.
I also have several kitted projects and a box of kits. And I flagged other projects to be kitted while looking for my HAED patterns.
Here are my orts for the end of 2020. I have emptied my jar and put them in an ornament.
I think I got a lot of stitching done in 2020. I lost my father in April and I had time on my hands that used to be spent with him. Staying home and working from home because of COVID again gave me more time. I hope things get back to normal in 2021 even if that means less stitching time.
Hope everyone has a great 2021 and I look forward to seeing everyone's stitching progress/plans.
Cathy
