<br />
I've participated (loosely) in the WIPocalypse since the world was going to end in 2012.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3QzSnqIkk_kIi4JScSeF1q45S1XTb-3Y5PbnS4DVQFgZQaidJZTDIMgakN1urmDUjILCSBBOFwmDyakJ8MX5xXdpHN9YDLwhshu7yAGznZedAGw2qmZX15fsZtYCmlMN9zWj_ZU8A_DQC/s1600/Kaboom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="223" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3QzSnqIkk_kIi4JScSeF1q45S1XTb-3Y5PbnS4DVQFgZQaidJZTDIMgakN1urmDUjILCSBBOFwmDyakJ8MX5xXdpHN9YDLwhshu7yAGznZedAGw2qmZX15fsZtYCmlMN9zWj_ZU8A_DQC/s320/Kaboom.jpg" width="177" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Needless to say, there was no kaboom (sorry Marvin) and I've been stitching on. I've been pretty bad about updating because it always seems that my stitching year is spent doing some Super Secret Project (SSP) for either my sister's wedding or my now year old niece. I'm sure as she gets older and can ask for things to be done I will be side tracked, but until then, I stitch....FOR ME!!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year I have five goals for the 2018 WIPocalypse.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Stitch From Stash</div>
<div>
I took count of my stash and it is scary. I won't give actual numbers here, but let's just say that I am on my way to opening up a stitching store. Sigh. Anyway, to keep the beast in check, I've joined the Facebook group and am going to keep a budget. However, any items bought for gifts (patterns mostly) do not count against my SFS budget. I will try to use fabric and floss from my stash for gifts as much as I can.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Work Towards Finshing WIPS</div>
<div>
Again, I took count of my stash and I have twenty-one patterns STARTED and fourteen kitted up and ready to go. I have created a page showing these thirty-five (sigh, 35) projects but will also list them below. My plan is to work on each project for 20 hours and then move on. I think I will set the rule of working on each project, with the exception of our wedding sampler, for 20 hours before touching it again in the course of the year.</div>

3. Finish Our Wedding Sampler</div>
<div>
I have already put in a week of a thread a day and twenty hours on our wedding sampler. The design is from Nouveau Encore Designs and has been personalized with our initials and wedding date. I am fortunate that six of the lovely ladies I stitch with on Thursday and Saturday are each doing one motif in the design. I've also convinced my husband to put in at least two stiches on the wedding ring motifs. :) My goal is to have it finished for our first anniversary. Here is the status of our sampler.</div>

4. Keep Up On My Thread A Day</div>
<div>
I never thought that doing one thread a day would make any progress on a project but I've discovered that I was very wrong. Here are the projects that I have finished as a thread a day. Rosewood Manor's Season of the Trees, started 09.01.14 and finished 06.09.15. (Sorry for the wrinkles).</div>

That brings us to my current thread a day project. It is the Temperature Block Sampler by Stitchnmomma. I am creating a pillow with a single block with the high temperature of every day of 2017 being a square of stitches. January 1, 2017 is a single stitch in the middle of the block. I ma stitching this with half crosses on 36 ct white evenweave over one. I started on 11.29.17 and am slightly behind but will catch up.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I know that I haven't posted in almost 18 months but that doesn't mean that I wasn't stitching. I think it was shortly after my last post that I found out I was going to be an AUNT!!!! Needless to say, I went into baby gift stitching mode since she is the first grandbaby on my side of the family. I stitched the Just Nan Baby Celebration pattern for my niece. No photo to show for this unfortunately.<br />
<br />
I also stitched Forest Friends from Cross Stitch Crazy. It only six different animals that I stitched multiple times to create a cute afghan. Here is the finished project:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then because she was going to need a stocking for Christmas, but she will also celebrate Hanukkah, I needed to find a stocking that merged both holidays. I found the perfect stocking but it wasn't cross stitch it was needlepoint. I've never needlepointed before, but that didn't stop me at all. I started on 5/20/17 and finished on 11/18/17. Here is the finished project for my sweet Hazel.</div>

In the last 18 months, I did get some stitching done for myself. As a thread a day, I finished Ink Circles, A Spirited Mandala with the suggested floss on 32ct overdyed linen in Voodoo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
I also finished a second thread a day, Ink Circles, Cirque des Carreaux on 32ct linen in Vintage Cedar Plank with Threadworx Black Forest. I started it on 8/31/16 and finished on 11/18/17.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In addition to the stitching, I got engaged, planned a wedding, got married, honeymooned and, oh yeah, started my wedding sampler. The picture is after one week of thread a day and twenty hours of work. More on the twenty hours in the next post. :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been using <a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=evCsnkrXwAajx39qhYExUQ%3D%3D&eeid=28187">Ebates</a> for a little while and have already gotten $150 in cash back rewards from them.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I introduced my friend at <a href="http://stitchnmomma.blogspot.com/">Stitchnmomma</a> and she discovered that </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's and Michael's are all listed on their site!! </b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> My response when she told me this...WHAT?!?!?! How did I not know this???? I guess it falls into how I didn't know there was a Lion Habitat where you could see and feed lions in Las Vegas, but that is another story. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, to earn cash back, you go to </span><a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=evCsnkrXwAajx39qhYExUQ%3D%3D&eeid=28187" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ebates</a> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and go to the crafty store of your choosing, purchase items and use any coupons you may have like you normally do and cash back rewards will be deposited in your account.

Good but busy. I have been stitching so yay for that<br /><br /> First, to answer this month's question: What were you stitching this time last year and have you finished it? (via Jo). I believe that I did finish what I was stitching on this time last year but then there are other projects like Mishra that were being stitched on then and are still being stitched on now. Sigh.<br /><br />

Sorry for blurry pictures and wrinkles. I need a really good camera. One of these days.</div>

First up is Egg of Eggs by Bent Creek. This came as a kit and I stitched it on the 18 count linen with the pearl cotton that was provided. It stitched up really quickly and was a lot of fun to do.</div>

This is the Ink Circles' Ghostly Mandala. I did it on 32 count overdyed linen in Attic Lace with Thread Gather silk in Pumpkins and Black Cats. It was a lot of fun to stitch. I am currently working on the second of the four Halloween inspired mandalas. Hopefully there will be more progress to report soon.</div>

Finally, while I have waaaaay too many projects started and waiting to be finished and even more kitted up and ready to be started, I'm working mostly on my thread a day Witches Night Out by Blackberry Lane Designs. I'm stitching it with 1 strand over 1 on 28 count Stormy Gray over dyed Jobelan. I am so close to being finished. I started this on June 10, 2015. I want to be finished by June 30, 2016. </div>

See, I have been stitching, just not posting. Maybe if I keep up on the posting, I won't have so many pictures and could actually remember fabrics and floss. Here's to hoping. Until next month, happy stitching.</div>

It's been too long. I'm sorry that I've been away but it has taken me a while to get back in the game. The past year and five months have been crazy. It sort of went like this...fine...vacation..fine...What the?!?!..surviving...good...great...sad...great. And tah-dah, here we are. There is no need to go into all the gory details, so I'll just say that everything with the exception of my darling Max passing away was for the best and I am much happier now that I could have ever been if things hadn't gone haywire. Although if someone could fill me in on June, July and August of 2014, I would appreciate it. I have no clue what happened those months. I do know that I stitched and I stitched A LOT!!!<br />
<br />
First, to answer this month's question: Reality or Fantasy. Which do you prefer to stitch? Figures or Abstract? I guess it depends on the pattern. I've done both reality and fantasy. When it comes to figures or abstract, I think I tend to stay with figures. I can't think of any abstract designs that I've done. Although, I'm sure if the right pattern came along I wouldn't be opposed to trying an abstract design.<br />
<br />
<div>
Anyway, in no particular order here are the things that I finished and am currently working on. Sorry for blurry pictures and wrinkles. I need a really good camera. One of these days.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First up, a few cards that I've finished. The first three are obviously Christmas cards and the last I think would be cute for Mother's Day. The penguins were from Cross Stitch Gold and the other two are from World of Cross Stitching. Both are British cross stitch magazines I receive. They were super fast to stitch up and I switched the Aida that was provided with even weave.</div>

Finally there is Mishra. He's on white 28 count evenweave, tent stitched with 2 strands over 1. I've finished nine pages and have started on the tenth. The seventh page took 30 days to complete but pages eight and nine took me 119 days to complete. Here's hoping page ten is closer to 30 than 119. I would like to have at least fifteen pages done by the end of the year. Fingers crossed.</div>

<div>
I have many, many, many more WIPs and if I were to give Mishra 7 days a month, I would need a 40+ day to give each of my other projects one day. I won't photograph all of them now, but as I pick a few to work on each month, I will post them. I'll try to take clearer wrinkle free pictures in the future and to also be better about remember what fabric I do everything on.</div>
<div>

<div>
Happy stitching everyone and thanks for stopping by.</div>

<br />
<br />
<strong>How many projects do you generally feel comfortable having in progress at a time? Tell us about your one-at-a-time or rotation habits!</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
When I first started stitching many moons ago I was a one at a time stitcher. I worked on that single project until I was sick of it but it at least got finished. As time has gone one I've started working on more than one project at a time. I think the most I've ever had going at one time, and I mean with actual stitches in them, is twelve. <br />
<br />
<br />
Currently, I have eight with stitches in and another eight kitted but sitting ever so quietly and patiently to receive their first stitch. I have a rotation set up allowing two weeks to stitch on Mishra (HAED) and then a week to stitch on anything else that I have in my possession. This seems to be working well so far but I'm starting to see that I'm stitching more than my two weeks on Mishra if the stitching is going well. When I hit a confetti spot in the pattern and my two weeks are up, I need a break.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now on to my progress.<br />

I have a couple of other finishes as well. I might have finished them at the end of 2013 or in the beginning of 2014 but never posted the progress. <br />
<br />
First is the Halloween Season of the Witches. This was stitched on 32ct Lugana PTP Flapper with 2 strands over 2.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello everyone, this is the first 2014 WIPocalypse posting and the topic is to introduce ourselves and our projects. I'm Kris and live in Las Vegas, NV with two very sweet cats. I am lucky enough to have finally found a great boyfriend and am enjoying spending time with him as well. I've been stitching for off and on for over 15 years. I love stitching and find it very relaxing. I'm lucky that I am able to stitch and listen to books on tape at the same time, I get to do two of my favorite things at once.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">My goals this year are simple:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">1. Try to finish 15 of the 30 pages in the HAED Mishra design.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">2. Make as much progress on all of my other pieces on my WIP List page.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I would like to have fifteen of the thirty pages in the pattern completed as of December 31, 2014 so I'm allowing myself a three week rotation. Two weeks are spent entirely on Mishra and the third is for any of the million other projects that I have started or want to start. I'm hoping that this rotation will help me meet my goal.</span></div>

I still need to make it into a pillow but at least the stitching is done. I swear, I didn't think I was ever going to finish this piece.<br />
<br />
Then I stitched Ursula Michael's "Let's Do Coffee". It was a super easy and quick stitch. I'm pleased with the way it turned out.<br />

After coffee, I stitched Ursula Michael's "Let's Do Tea"....twice! The pictures are a little blurry but I think you get the idea. Take one....<br />

<br />
Both of the teas are gifts for other people and I actually want it for myself....so, yes, I will be stitching it one more time. However, not for a while. <br />
<br />
Then to round out the Ursula Michael's trifecta I stitched "Let's Purr". This is for me. :) I left the heart shaped design that is in the pattern to the left of the cat off, I just preferred it that way.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then I stitched the Lizzie Kate limited edition "Chicks"...twice. One for me and one for my best friend from back home that picked the pattern up when she was visiting. Now we will both have a cute pattern to remember each other by. Again, the pictures are a little blurry and I don't know why they show up rotated but you get the idea. These were super easy and fast to stitch up.<br />
<br />
Take one...<br />

On September 1, 2013 I started my first Mirabilia. I've stitched on others in Round Robins but this is one that I chose to have for myself. Fittingly, it is September Sapphire Fairy. Here is what she'll look like when finished.<br />

If someone can explain to me why the pictures rotate when they are the way I want them in my directory, I would greatly appreciate it. Please and thank you.<br />
<br />
Last but certainly not least is Mishra, my HAED. He is my focus piece with everything else in the last 6 weeks being just when I need to have a break. When last he was seen, Mishra looked like this:<br />

<br />
One page is completely done, I'm about halfway through a second and about a quarter through a third. He's stitching up faster than I thought he would. I think stitching my sister's wedding present may have something to do with that. :)<br />
<br />
These are the projects that I've worked on the most consistently (and even finished) since finishing my sister's wedding present. It's nice to have options and not shown here are work on I'll Get You/I'll Cut You, the Spring Sampler, the Spring Cross, Tranquility and Siberian Tigers. I did put some stitches into each of these but not significantly.<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching All!!!!<br />

The SSP was a wedding gift for my sister. My parent's took a picture of the location with my sister and her fiancée that I then gave to a friend that is a genius with Photoshop. She took my sister and fiancée out of the picture, filled in the gaps and viola I had a picture to send to The Stitching Studio in Canada. They took the picture below and created a 200 by 267 stitches pattern that included blended stitches.<br />

I then took the pattern and stitched the design on 28 count evenweave. I started December 1, 2012 and finished in the early hours May 26, 2013.<br />
<br />
Here is the final product.<br />

I had it framed and gave it to them at their rehearsal dinner. They loved it. :)<br />

Now back to working on the million of WIP that I have kept locked in the closet all this time...or maybe I'll start something new. :D<br />

I've been working on the SSP project and at the end of February I'm at 21, 924 stitches complete out of the 54,300. That puts my progress at roughly 41%. I'm hoping to get to 36,000 stitches by the end of the month. Fingers crossed that I can make it.<br />

Welcome! :)<br />
<br />
Currently in my stitching queue is a Super Secret Project (SSP) that I cannot currently post pictures of, however, I can say that I've completed approximately 11,000 of the 53,400 stitches. So that puts me about 20.5% complete. I'm feeling a little behind the power curve on this project at the moment because it does actually have a due date. Hopefully, my stitching mojo will be back in full force soon.<br />
<br />
Since I'm completely consumed with the SSP all of my many other projects are sitting ever so patiently but not so quietly in another room just waiting their turn to be worked. Here are the projects that I have in the wings and where they stand at the moment.<br />

I've gotten a little more than 2,000 stitches of 53,400 stitches done. Since it is a SSP, I can't post a picture yet; which is sort of a bummer because this is the only thing that I will be working on until it is done. Yes, I have a deadline for those 53,400 stitches and I'm hoping it doesn't sneak up and surprise me.

I made progress on several projects and started some new ones. First up is the Spring Floral Cross, which I have worked on since July. Keeping with my backstitch as I go new method, this was mostly catching the backstitching up with the cross stitching. So far, it's looking good and it is a pretty quick stitch.<br />

Next is my HAED Mishra, he now has two stripes. I could have finished the page but all that is left is a whole lot of white and I'm debating doing the white after I've finished a whole row of pages to try and keep it clean. What's everyone's opinion on that? Should I wait to complete a whole row of pages or should I do the white page by page? Advice? <br />

I've almost finished the left half of the Kitten Cuddled in a Quilt. I wanted to have this done by Christmas but I don't think that it will make the deadline sine I have a super secret project (SSP) that I am working on now and that will be taking much of my time. Maybe I'll work it into one of the two days a week I allow myself to work on something other than the SSP.<br />

The Spring Sampler also received some attention this month. Of course it was catching the back stitching up to the stitching but it is starting to come together and I know that just above that shamrock is a large area of white that is just dying to be stitched and I can't wait to have a single color for a while on this project.<br />

Here is my free HAED Christmas Animals pattern. I haven't worked on this since August and I'm doing full cross in lieu of tenting because this isn't as jam packed with stitches like a normal HAED. I've almost finished the back half of the pheasant.<br />

Here is a monogram that I've started for myself. It will be an Easter monogram hence the pastel colors. I've only worked on it about three times and it is stitching up very fast. I want to have this done by April but I think I will make that deadline with no problem. In fact I may switch between this and the Kitten for Thursday night stitching.<br />

Finally I have two finishes, well almost finishes, they need to be stuffed and have the opening stitched shut but they will be done. The first is actually a cross stitch that I finished in 2008 and just never got around to finishing the pillow.</div>

The second is a gift I made. It originally said "I'll get you my pretty" but when I saw it at the LNS I thought it said "I'll cut you my pretty" on first glance. When I looked again and realized what it said I thought it was hilarious and decided I had to make this for my sister. I hope she finds the humor in it that I did.<br />

The past month has been crazy with trying to get the stocking finished for this Christmas but I did it. Here it is all finished.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've decided that waiting to do all the back stitching until all the crosses have been stitched is not a good idea. I thought I was going to lose my mind and never make it through all the back stitching but I did it. I also decided that from now on if there is a considerable amount of back stitching to be done, I'm doing it as I go. That being said, I caught up the Spring Sampler with back stitching and managed to put in a couple of crosses as well.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The lower right seems to be stitching up a bit quicker than the lower left did. I'm excited about that. It will be nice to have the bottom half of this done, hopefully by the end of the year. (I don't know why the picture is rotated, it isn't in my file.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also worked on the kitten in the quilt, although I didn't get many stitches in, here is the progress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMSAkcBqQXnUDPcG2zlDnfRIVs3qLsx5fmpo1RqMeUvqYOEn4jFVIxAnnlgzNz58sgWEg6sESwKlEiDGyr3HtQwVR9JRr7utzQ0e4-Uzb5L67Y-GHNhO-WAKnxOlLKEnSHheW766FZj1c3/s1600/IMG_5694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMSAkcBqQXnUDPcG2zlDnfRIVs3qLsx5fmpo1RqMeUvqYOEn4jFVIxAnnlgzNz58sgWEg6sESwKlEiDGyr3HtQwVR9JRr7utzQ0e4-Uzb5L67Y-GHNhO-WAKnxOlLKEnSHheW766FZj1c3/s320/IMG_5694.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally is my HAED Mishra. Poor Mishra has had a rough go of it this round. I started him with full crosses with 1 over 1 on 25ct. Then I was introduced to tenting and I decided to frog all of the stitches and start over with half crosses with 3 over 1 on 25ct. Then I decided that 3 over 1 was too bulky on the back and that I didn't like it so I decided to start over again. This time I did 2 over 1 on 28ct and so far I'm liking it a whole lot better. So, in pictures we started with this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-FmnbxJmiZKEZqOb1HIe5pXqswCqxpMnqgr90UOoxy7NcF5wOT1O5EXGGnitwy8PIDzexsS3u-4Br7QjQ3vkhXgfLCXgxdYR7pWBQZj5-dbH9nC2cHllXixpcWc6eLf95DIBktbOHNqOm/s1600/IMG_5685.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-FmnbxJmiZKEZqOb1HIe5pXqswCqxpMnqgr90UOoxy7NcF5wOT1O5EXGGnitwy8PIDzexsS3u-4Br7QjQ3vkhXgfLCXgxdYR7pWBQZj5-dbH9nC2cHllXixpcWc6eLf95DIBktbOHNqOm/s320/IMG_5685.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Went to this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuDoZuuAxMwiTwyHLeTL99k0G2nKUg7uLzV1GIHivV1iXjVr3hn5hI2szq66LIpaaO2Jse5G0XfkMTOjK8GllxwzAcca3KJGhNcgUzWFqORHOL1kGnua1KqZYZMwdr1Cc2_ZJKWfQgYYAG/s1600/IMG_5679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuDoZuuAxMwiTwyHLeTL99k0G2nKUg7uLzV1GIHivV1iXjVr3hn5hI2szq66LIpaaO2Jse5G0XfkMTOjK8GllxwzAcca3KJGhNcgUzWFqORHOL1kGnua1KqZYZMwdr1Cc2_ZJKWfQgYYAG/s320/IMG_5679.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Was introduced to tenting and frogged all of the above and arrived at this point (again, I don't know why it's rotated):<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl6habsGMTDq_CoSlgjgc9tO7NiOcjiU49RmnIzL8XYMYfG0k1WBkC-d2Iwo2tmNaIFqKGupuS7lKscTKYGun0X2NUSgDHaPuXllZIo2mlbnpKlzuNpsRnQIXP1uZWeGulRMHV9Ii0pRQT/s1600/IMG_5690.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl6habsGMTDq_CoSlgjgc9tO7NiOcjiU49RmnIzL8XYMYfG0k1WBkC-d2Iwo2tmNaIFqKGupuS7lKscTKYGun0X2NUSgDHaPuXllZIo2mlbnpKlzuNpsRnQIXP1uZWeGulRMHV9Ii0pRQT/s320/IMG_5690.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Hated 3 over 1 on 25ct and started over yet again with 2 over 1 on 28ct and after a couple of hours stitching have ended up here:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDNg1C4Eck9oDLsh2WtiraKZC1REC4DZV5KVLdTSsPgoDjthWxuX_jrCRXh87jmP61xEoWKtMV8ClfqrJpcuPbnkMiRmNcCeGoSqh_Frg5v69EuRT1xDs5cdYPPNwNENuU8hd_AtzKiUW9/s1600/IMG_5692.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDNg1C4Eck9oDLsh2WtiraKZC1REC4DZV5KVLdTSsPgoDjthWxuX_jrCRXh87jmP61xEoWKtMV8ClfqrJpcuPbnkMiRmNcCeGoSqh_Frg5v69EuRT1xDs5cdYPPNwNENuU8hd_AtzKiUW9/s320/IMG_5692.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I like the 2 over 1 on 28ct much better and am going to stay here for this and all future HAEDs.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone had a productive month.<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!!<br />

I've moved to a one week rotation and it seems to be working much better. I actually feel like I'm making progress and even have a finish this month. This new rotation also means that even though there are nine projects in the rotation I won't be posting about them every month.<br />
<br />
First, here is my finish. I finished the "Valentine" monogram. I love the colors but now think that I should have done it over one instead of over two. It just seems too big. I'll keep it around and, who knows, maybe eventually I'll redo it over one.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now for the progress. The two HAEDs were started under the three day rotation so there isn't much to show this round. Here is the tiger HAED Mishra is suppose to look like when it is finished.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Christmas HAED that I am working on is actually one of their free patterns and has actual spaces in the chart that have no stitching. Here is what is supposed to look like when it is finished.<br />

I know that most people start the HAED designs in the upper left hand corner, but for some reason it is easier, and makes more sense to me, to start in the lower left corner.<br />
<br />
My last progress is for the Cuddled Cat in a Quilt. I don't have a picture for this one and it was slowing me down working on it for some reason. So I searched for the design online and found a picture on eBay. Looking at the picture all I could think was...I don't remember this being what it is suppose to look like. LOL, oh well, I'm making more progress on it now. <br />

rotation are moving along quite well. Sometimes it feels like I'm not making progress but every stitch is one stitch closer to a finish. I'm hoping that by the next post I'll have at least one finish. Most likely it will be the monogram which will then be replaced by a new monogram. :) I'll also have posts on the two HAEDs that I'm starting. I doubt it will be much as I'll just be following the same three day rotation. Now for some progress
pictures...<br />
<br />First is the monogram that I've been working on for February.
I'm beginning to have doubts about doing it over two threads but it is almost finished so I'm not starting over. Here is what it looks like when I finished this round of stitching:<br />

Then I worked on the
Spring Sampler. I think that when I completely finish one of the four pages I'll really feel like it is coming along. Here is the current status of it.</div>

My mother tiger and two babies is slowly coming together. I didn't get as much progress as I wanted on this as I had hoped since I had to frog a large portion out from the last posting. I've restitched all that I frogged and then some. Here is what it looks like now.</div>

The seashell design has been a pretty quick stitch. I definitely feel like I'm making progress on it. Here they are now.<br />

The cat in the quilt is still moving very slowly. It is amazing how hard it is to stitch this when I don't have a finished pictured to refer to, but I will finish this sooner or later. :) Here's where it stands today.<br />

Another project that is in my rotation is the Janlynn Spring Cross. This is a quick stitch and I have a good feeling that I might get this done this year. It is nice to get to some of the bright colors.</div>

I'm excited about the further progress and to see just how much I can get stitched on the two HAEDs I'm starting this period.<br /><br />Happy
Stitching!!!</div>Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05667397871120807088noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680933032145074445.post-33322608362000593702012-06-12T14:05:00.000-07:002012-06-12T14:05:33.384-07:00WIPocalypse June PostSince I started feeling better and still had lots of time on my hands while recovering I became a stitching fool I started a modified Margie rotation (so named for the woman who inspired me :D). I work on a different project every three days. So far it seems to be going well. I have six projects currently in rotation. I added a new one after all this progress and at the end of June I'll be adding two HAEDs. Yes, you read that right, I will be adding TWO HAEDs to my rotation. It'll probably take me 10 years to complete just one of them with this rotation but I'm enjoying the different projects. Now for some progress pictures...<br />
First is the monogram that I've been working on for February. Here is what it looks like when I finished this round of stitching:<br />

Then I worked on the Spring Sampler. The color changes are still making me crazy but I feel like I'm making some progress on this. Here is the current status of it.<br />

I've also started four new projects. The stocking is an old WIP, so old that I can't even remember when I started it. Here's what it is suppose to look like when it's finish.<br />

Somehow this last WIP has lost the finished picture and to be honest it is sort of bothering me that I don't know what it is suppose to look like when it is finished. I do remember that it is suppose to be a cat curled up sleeping on a quilt. This is what the Cat looks like now:<br />

<br />
All of the projects are going well and I'm enjoying stitching on them and am looking forward to posting my progress in July. I'm a little nervous about starting the HAEDs but I love the patterns. The rotation seems to be working out well too. I never get bored with a project and in the case of the Cat when I start getting frustrated with it it is time to move on to something else.<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!!!<br />

YAY!!I have a FINISH!!!! YAY!!! I finished the Donna Kooler All Creatures Great and Small Sampler for the Best in Show charity fundraiser. Here is what the sampler looked like when I posted for March.<br />

And here is how it looked when I took it to the framers. I'll make sure to post a finished framed picture on the Yuku forums. I really hope that someone likes it and bids on it during the silent action. I think it is adorable!!<br />

The other project I worked on was the pink monogram. Here is how it looked when I posted in March.<br />

I'm much happier now with the way the colors all go together in this configuration. Here is how it looks now.<br />

<br />
I feel that I made much more progress this month, it might just be because I can say that I finished something. I'm hoping to have the pink monogram done by next post. Wish me luck!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and happy stitching everyone!Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05667397871120807088noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680933032145074445.post-31020229561060483512012-03-09T07:47:00.000-08:002012-03-09T07:47:23.593-08:00WIPocalypse March 2012Ahhhh, the sweet feeling of progress!!!!! I focused almost all of my time on the Donna Kooler All Creatures Great and Small sampler. I need to get this finished in the next week to week and a half so I can have it professionally framed and ready for the fundraiser on April 22nd. I hope that someone in the silent auction loves the piece as much as I have loved working on it.<br />
<br />
Here is what it looked like from the last update:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8oKO1McKLJwzMbwqlUtn1pU-gPfuXrm7tXGjvRNens3whYWCTsaOF7zNy9u2CmFN3VpN2aN7JBS7wvlDdea9bFj1sJb__78ap5mEspbXeew92L5egPlA2w41_ShtqvzmD2mjWsBKklNB/s1600/Animal+End+Feb12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8oKO1McKLJwzMbwqlUtn1pU-gPfuXrm7tXGjvRNens3whYWCTsaOF7zNy9u2CmFN3VpN2aN7JBS7wvlDdea9bFj1sJb__78ap5mEspbXeew92L5egPlA2w41_ShtqvzmD2mjWsBKklNB/s320/Animal+End+Feb12.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I did all the back stitching on everything below the row of cats. I also backstitched a couple of the cats but am missing a color to finish the second and fourth cat. I know I should go and get it but I'm sure I'm going to run out of at least one other color so I figured I'd just make a note of where I need to finish some stitches and keep on going. I then started stitching on the top half of the design and ended up here.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I did work a little on the monogram but not much. Here is how it started:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw67ntgg6pA-WzbV3iPrLy2HQb0IvsA4qXTsnYqZopX13lm96A-91w9n7kDGGR2nO-aiNnUk0pMzVnsh-MZ195dUgR-ByZefUP3fVZV8NvtfioW5HZq3KAZwte-U-QB8o4YIflzsbqmqE_/s1600/Monogram+End+Feb12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw67ntgg6pA-WzbV3iPrLy2HQb0IvsA4qXTsnYqZopX13lm96A-91w9n7kDGGR2nO-aiNnUk0pMzVnsh-MZ195dUgR-ByZefUP3fVZV8NvtfioW5HZq3KAZwte-U-QB8o4YIflzsbqmqE_/s320/Monogram+End+Feb12.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>And here is where I put it down to concentrate on the sampler:<br />

This is a quick stitch and as soon as I get the sampler done and off to the framers I will be able to focus on this and several other projects.<br />
<br />

The Spring Sampler with all the color changes had me feeling like I stitched and stitched and stitched but just wasn't getting anywhere. <br />
So for February, I decided to work on the Donna Kooler Animal Sampler that I am doing for a fundraiser that benefits an animal shelter her in Las Vegas and a monogram design that I designed myself for my half bathroom. (One of these I'll get around to actually decorating my house). :(<br />
<br />
The monogram started out like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4TIPH7FfW-fixwBqzd9sZ0MKYnK3DBJ6W5VZTFcH2yaN7xXT5ndCF5LYfEDj8seMrH5kiiB7vYvq6G1e0hy6lC6rj5i8eRHijeGkcV4vhghKha2vw-cw6YxEm8JS9PfNTz1doaA4nAlFK/s1600/Monogram+Start.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4TIPH7FfW-fixwBqzd9sZ0MKYnK3DBJ6W5VZTFcH2yaN7xXT5ndCF5LYfEDj8seMrH5kiiB7vYvq6G1e0hy6lC6rj5i8eRHijeGkcV4vhghKha2vw-cw6YxEm8JS9PfNTz1doaA4nAlFK/s320/Monogram+Start.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />

I feel like I made pretty good progress but I really think that I could have done more. I had a little over a week this month where I just couldn't bring myself to pick up the stitching at all. Life had other plans for me. I am hoping March will be more productive and could possibly bring a finish. Here's to hoping any way.<br />
<br />

I remember now why this is a WIP. There are so many color changes. It is a really cute design, but I have a feeling that it is going to take some time to actually get this done.<br />
<br />
Here is the way it looked when I started it on the first of the year:<br />

Progress wasn't too bad, but I think I'm going to work on some other projects until February's post to make myself feel like I'm actually accomplishing something.Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05667397871120807088noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680933032145074445.post-28948655758141656032012-01-01T12:14:00.000-08:002012-01-01T12:14:46.509-08:00I'm ready for the WIPocalypse!!!!I've made my list for the WIPocalypse and am ready to start stitching.
