WIPocalypse!

I can see light at the end of the tunnel! A long, long time ago I've started SAL with many other lovely stitchers, we were stitching Halloween House. I think everybody is done with their project a while ago - mine is still dragging...

After I finished Spooky Welcome I grabbed my HH and went on stitching. I wanted so bad to have finish during this WIPocalypse and I almost made it

See? I just have to finish the border, a little bit to the right and a little bit down on the right. Then it will be all done! Then I can say goodby to Halloween stuff for a while, at least to the end of the year.

This month’s topic is:  What are your favorite and least favorite materials to use in your stitching?

Well, let me tell you - I love stitching on linen. A long time ago I did not like it - it was to soft, counting was difficult but now I feel same about aida - it's to stiff, the wholes are to big... it's funny how my taste has changed. I love stitching with silk floss but I do not mind stitching with other brands except the Glow in the Dark - do not like that one at all. Oh, and I love my Q-snaps! And I think that will be all...

So long my friends,
Evalina

Full moon - WIPocalypse time!

Would the super moon made the WIPocalypse super too? I was trying hard to do something super for this update. I stitched like there would be no tomorrow hoping that I can finish my Vulture's Welcome. I didn't but I have made great progress:

This month theme is the oldest and the newest WIP. The newest you can see above, the oldest... I'm not sure. I guess would be something from my crazy January challenge. For sure I know what is my oldest UFO - Sailboats and Seagulls! I started this some quarter of the century ago and as soon as I locate that piece I will finish it - cross my heart! This is where I left it off in January 2012:

There is not that much left to finish, I have no idea why it is taking me so long.

My stitchy to do list for the next week:

• to finish Vulture's Welcome
• to locate the oldest UFO and get over with it!

So long my friends,

3. Songs of the Season

9. Enchantment
10. Sailboats
11. Rose Sampler

The pictures will arrive as soon as I stitch something. This weekend we are hermitting and stitching and I'm planning to finish ABC Heart and work on the Enchantment.

WIPocalypse

Full moon, last time this year - time for WIPocalypse summary. I had very good intentions of finishing 13 projects for 2013 - I have finished only four...

Good morning

I have done more finishes but they were not on my WIPocalypse list so I guess they do not count...

Overall I'm very happy with my projects. Next year I will really finish them. That's my new goal for 2014! 

So long my friends,

Full moon update

It's WIPocalypse time! I did not stitch a lot this month... shame on me... I worked a little on Ol Harvest Moon

Topaz and I decided to look for some signs of spring

No luck... snow is everywhere and the lake still solid frozen...

except a tiny opening by the docks

hmm... not much room for swans to land...

So long my friends,
