December WIPocalypse

As part of the WIPocalypse group it is time for another monthly update.  Here is this month's prompt:

 

Question of the Month: Recap your accomplishments for the year! (Your finishes, your final before/after photos, etc).

 

2020 was a good stitching year.  Working from home gave me more time to stitch because of no commute and getting my housework done during breaks in my work.  I had 5 finishes this year:

 

 

From the Home for the Holidays leaflet by Sue Hillis I stitched this.

Toadally Romantic stitched on a pink fabric that is not showing up good.  I really enjoyed this one.

A Christmas Ornament Jingle Bell Santa from a magazine

My big finish my first finished HAED Little Fairies at Play framed and hanging in my bedroom.

And my last finish for the year Cowslip finished on 12/22/20.

This month I also stitched on:

Butterfly Fairy Night.  I made a small amount of progress this year.  It is my only project on evenweave and in spots my stitches are out of alignment which means adjusting the new stitches I put in.

Harvest Blessing.   I have made alot of progress on this one.  I did get off count in the beginning.  But when I got new glasses late last year I now have no problem seeing to stitch this one.  Again I have to make adjustments for being off in the beginning.

Freedom by Joan Elliott.  I finished the O and made good progress on the M this year.

Faces of Faery 90 another HAED.  This became my weekend project once I had made my goal on Dandelion Fairy Kingdom.  Page 5 is half done and then only a partial page 6.

I had a new start on 12/23/20.  I started Mingle & Jingle by Ursula Michael on 18ct Opalescent.  Here is what it will look like when done:

I also fully finished an ornament I stitched last year - Bumble.  My finishing skills need worked on.

Here are my other WIPs that were worked on during the year:

Crane Paradise finished one page and working on the second page

Dandelion Fairy Kingdom. I stitched pages 2-4 and page 5 which was a partial page.  Top row finished.  I used this piece for the 20,000 in 2020 challenge in Full Coverage Fanatics.

I did get some stash this month also:

A piece of 16 count fabric.  It is a pretty light green.

And from Stash Unloading this magazine.  There a few projects in here for my future plans

I have enjoyed participating in WIPocalypse this year.  I enjoy seeing everyone's progress.  I will be participating in 2021 and will share my plans in that first post.
