WIPocalypse 2021

 Once again I am participating in the WIPocalypse stitch along.  Goal is to finish (or make progress) on your projects before the end of time.  I have been participating since the beginning but my 2012 page somehow got deleted.  You can find information on WIPocalypse here:https://measi.net/measiblog/wipocalypse_main/2021-wipocalypse-info/

For this post we are to introduce ourselves, our projects and goals for 2021.

I am Cathy living in North East Indiana, married with 2 grown children and  cats.  I am still working from home which is giving me more stitching time.

I currently have 7 active WIPs and one UFO that I cannot locate.  Pine Cone Sampler was put aside as I struggled with the specialty stitches on Linen.  I currently do not know where it is hiding.  But if it re-appears I will put some more stitches in it and get a picture.

Dandelion Fairy Kingdom is a long term project.  For 2021 I am using this project for the 21,000 in 2021 challenge in Full Coverage Stitchers and Stitching Around Iceland.  I hope to finish another 5 pages which would be another row.

 

Faces of Faery 90 I need to complete page 5 and page 6 which is a partial page.  I plan on finishing this in 2021.  This will be my second HAED finish.

 

Bless our Harvest is almost completed and I hope to finish in 2021.

 

Butterfly Fairy Night my goal is just to make more progress on this one.  It is a struggle as it is on evenweave and I got off with my stitches in places so I have to compensate as I go.

 

Freedom I would like to finish 2 letters in 2021.

 

Crane Paradise my goal is just to make progress

 

Lets Mingle & Jingle which I just started in December 2020 I want to make progress on.

Possible new starts in 2021 (and this list keeps changing )

Cat's Paw from Treasures in Needlework.  This is a companion piece to Cowslip.  There is a third piece with a horse but I won't be doing that one  I still have enough material left from Cowslip to stitch Cats  Paw and it is kitted and ready to go.  If we get to travel this year, I will take this with me as a travel project.

Hodgepodge Soup from Cross Country Stitching October 2013. I like the bright colors in this one.

 

QS Red Maple Fairy by Jasmine Becket-Griffith and HAED.   I need to kit this one up to take the place of Faces of Faery 90 when I finish.  While looking for my next HAED I had to dig thru 3 tubs of patterns, magazines and kits.  Oh my.  I really did not know I had that much.  I have about 10 more HAED patterns.

 

Storybook Animals from Treasures in Needlework Fall 1992 and Winter 1992.  Eventually I want to stitch all 4.  I just need to pick one and get it kitted up.

Romantic Toad Scissor Fob.  I finished the main piece and just need to do the scissor fob.

I also have several kitted projects and a box of kits.  And I flagged other projects to be kitted while looking for my HAED patterns.

Here are my orts for the end of 2020.  I have emptied my jar and put them in an ornament.

I think I got a lot of stitching done in 2020.  I lost my father in April and I had time on my hands that used to be spent with him.  Staying home and working from home because of COVID again gave me more time.  I hope things get back to normal in 2021 even if that means less stitching time.

Hope everyone has a great 2021 and I look forward to seeing everyone's stitching progress/plans.
