May WIPocalypse

Question of the Month:  How do you personally distinguish between a Work in Progress (WIP) and an Unfinished Object (UFO)?  A WIP is a project that is actively being worked on, maybe not daily or weekly but still has stitches being put in.  A UFO is a project that has been banished and the thought of putting any stitches into it never crosses your mind.  I do not currently have any UFO's.  I have never abandoned a project.  Even if it takes me years (many many) I do eventually finish it.

I had another finish this month.  Unplug & Go Outside by Emma Congdon.  I finished it on 5/4/25.  I enjoyed stitching this one and will do more from her Cross Stitch for the Earth book.

This project was also on my May Magazine Monthly Challenge Acrostic.

Here are the other projects from the Acrostic that I worked on:

 

Hello Autumn

 

QS Magic Island.  Halfway done with page 4 which is mostly background so large chunks of color.

 

Autumn Sampler

 

Homestead Harvest

 

 Owl Faces I almost have the first face done

 

Gnomes

 

 Butterfly Fairy Night still plugging away so it is not an UFO even though it has many mistakes

 

Then I also worked on the following projects:

 

 Country Crow Teapot is the piece I work on
when we are camping.  I made alot of progress this trip.  Maybe I will finish it during our June camping trip.

 

 

Crane Paradise

 

 Hedge Hog

 

Funky Cat

 

Queen of the Sea

 

 

I did have a new start.  Owl #9 for the next Great Niece/Nephew who will be born in June.  Changing things up again putting this one on black as I want to make it a white snowy owl.

 

 

I find that by the 15th of the month my stitching energy/mojo is waning.  I stitched for 29 days in May but not twice a day and sometimes not very many stitches.  

 

 

June is my birthday month.  I am planning a new start.  All kitted up except for the fabric.  I just need to cut a piece from my stash.
