It is time for another monthly update for WIPocalypse which is hosted by Measi at:

I continue to plug along with my rotation and I do feel like I am making progress. Here is what I worked on this month:
Dandelion Fairy Kingdom is my weekend project. Goal is at least 21,000 stitches this year as part of the Full Coverage Fanatics challenge. I am now at half way on page 7. Hope to finish this page before the end of May.
Faces of Faery 90 I finished page 5. Just a small partial page 6 left. I do not think this piece will come up again until June. But this one will be a finish for 2021.
Freedom halfway done with this E. Then just 2 more letters and a ton of backstitching.
After the March posting I did work on Mingle. This is the last of the words and then just gnomes.
Butterfly Fairy Night. This is my only piece on evenweave and it has been a struggle. But I think I am finally getting the hang of it and if I go slow progress is being made.
We took a small overnight trip in April so I needed a project to work on in the hotel. I started the scissor fob for Toadilly Romantic. This is the front of the scissor fob.
Question of the Month: Have you found yourself to be more or less productive in your stitching during the Covid-19 pandemic? I think I have been more productive as I no longer have a commute and do housework when work is slow.
We have been working hard on our house update. We now have a guest room and are expecting my husband's mom to arrive soon for a visit.
I did get some stash in April
I saw this one at my LNS when I went in to get floss. This reminds me of my grandparents farmhouse.
A cute Gnome kit from Mill Hill.
I had to get these two. My sister is a big Abominable snow man fan. And her husband likes Bigfoot.
I have so many new patterns that I want to stitch which keeps changing what I will start when I finish one of my projects in rotation. I am still thinking about doing Maynia for the first time with maybe one start a week. But then I feel they will not get worked on until something in my rotation finishes up.
We will see what May brings. With good weather and possibly a mother in law staying I may not get much stitching time at all.
