December WIPocalypse

 Here are the projects I worked on in December:

Butterfly Fairy Night.  I am working from the bottom up to the wings that I had stitched with many mistakes.  Sometimes I was over 3 or over 1 and struggled to do it correctly over 2.  I have now gotten it under control and the bottom portion is correct.  I am hoping I can get it to meet up and that it will not look out of alignment when it is done. 1,988 stitches this year.

What a Hoot Owl Teapot is getting closer to a finish.  There are several more in this series I would like to do. 2,109 stitches this year

Jolly Snowman by Joan Elliott.  Made good progress on this one this year.  Will continue on with this one next year.  1,264 total stitches this year.

Autumn Sampler 2,494 stitches done this year.  

Gnomes.  Doing the back stitching on the first Gnome.  1,228 stitches this year.

Crane Paradise working on the last crane on this page.  Then the bottom pages which have alot of flowers. 3,033 stitches this year

Hedge Hog kit by Riolos.  739 stitches this year

Princess & the Dragon.  Still one of my favorite wips.  2,643 stitches this year.

Dandelion Fairy Kingdom.  Started page 19 December 1st and I almost finished the page in December.  I was thrown off my schedule of 4 full pages and a partial page in a year due to my broken wrist earlier in the year.  But retirement has helped me to almost get caught up. 26,741 stitches this year.

Now we are to recap our stitching year.  Even though I had a slow start with a broken wrist I did manage 8 finishes:

I did stitch on all of my WIPs this year and final progress photos are on my WIPocalyse 2023page.

I had 5 new starts and I am ending the year with 14 WIPs.

I stitched 271 days and a total of 63,212 stitches

Here are my Orts from 2023

I am looking forward to 2024.
