August WIPocalypse

 This month's WIPocalypse question is: What is your comfort zone regarding the number of projects to have kitted and in progress at any one time?

I think I currently have 15 wips.  I did have 20 but finished 5.  I have learned to have a mix of project sizes that helps to keep the projects moving.  I do have some kitted up waiting to be started.  I have a large stash and want to stitch all the projects in my stash.  So I have really only been buying floss and fabric.  A new pattern has to really grab me for me to add it to my stash. 

Here is what I worked on this month:

Autumn Sampler.  I started this one in January and had not touched it since.  I pulled it out and made some good progress on it.

Dandelion Fairy Kingdom.  I finished page 16 which had alot of confetti.  I started page 17 and I am almost done with it.  It has alot of large color areas which is helping me to make good progress. There are still a few days left in August and I would like to finish this page.  Doing a page in one month will help me to get back on track with this one.

 

Gnomes.  I worked on this one for one evening.

Homestead Harvest.  I took it off the scroll rods.  It is a very soft material and it is going better in a hoop.  I am working on the white house.

Made more progress on What a Hoot.  I hope to get this one finished in September.

Butterfly Fairy Night got some attention.

I had a new start.  This is Bright Owl Quintet from Cross Stitch and Needlework Sept 2014.  This will be Owl #6 as I have a new great niece arriving in November.  So I am adding to the Owl Family that I make for the Grandparents of the babies to hang in their home.

To Everything there is a Season was worked on for 3 days.

Give Thanks to God.  I started on the white house.  I am railroading my stitches trying to get the white to lay nicely.

Now that I am retired I get about 4-5 hours of stitching a day.

My plans for September.  I will be participating in ABCINGO with the Magazine Monthly Facebook Group.  I have put my small and medium wips on my board hoping to move some closer to a finish.  We are also camping two different times in September so I might not get as much done on Dandelion Fairy Kingdom.
