January WIPocalypse Intro

 I have been participating in WIPocalypse since 2012.  At the beginning of the year we are to introduce ourselves and share any plans we have.

I am married with two grown children.  I live with my husband and one cat.  I am an old fashioned stitcher.  I do not use Pattern Keeper etc.  I use paper patterns and my magnetic board.  In the past few years I have just started buying PDF patterns but I print them when I am ready to kit them up and stitch.  I also keep my floss on bobbins.  I like to have each project fully kitted with its own floss.

 

Plans for 2026 include:  Participating in Brringo with the Magazine Monthly Challenge Group and doing their monthly acrostics and any pop up challenges.  I also will be doing the 26,000 stitches in 2026 with the Full Coverage Fanactics.

I hope to finish two of my older wips this year - Jolly Snowman and Princess & the Dragon.

Princess & the Dragon by Teresa Wentzler

I do have at least 5 new starts planned.  Some of them will be started as part of Brringo in January.

Here is my empty Ort Jar and my 2025 ornament full of the 2025 orts.

 


 I am starting 2026 with 14 WIPs.  I like to have 20 wips at the most.  I have a 2026 tab for my WIPs and it has been updated with starting photos.
