Earthdancer-week 1 progress

I originally started this piece on New Year's Day as part of a new year, new start SAL with a group. However on Monday I realized I had cut my fabric wrong, there was no way to save it. Luckily I had a piece of fabric in the same color that was the proper size. Tuesday I restarted this piece. I am pleased with my progress.

WIPocalypse 2015-January

I'm Angie. I'm 38, married 15 years, with a nearly 5 yr old son. I stitch about 1-2 hours a day.mNow that my son is older I sometimes stitch evenings I don't work as well. I started stitching when I was 10ish, then took many years off until I was around 30.

Although I have participated in the past, I sat out last year. I am participating in WIPocalypse this year. You can learn all about WIPocalypse as well as sign up here.

My goals this year are to complete as many of the following as I can. Most of these will be new starts. I am proud to say missing from my list is Japanese garden, my chatelaine, which I finished. You can see pics a few entries back.

I stitch on a rotation. Currently one week Earthdancer, one week HAED, one week a small. As this first full moon came 5 days into the year the only one I have worked on is Earthdancer.

Here is my current progress. Stitched on Silkweaver's fairyland 32 ct. Wexford linen

 

 

Here is a list of my goals for the year.

 

 

Crabby all year-may-raise the roof (Rabbits). I am stitching each month separate.

New year, new start

I really want to try hard to update every Friday on my weeks progress. Although I am participating inWIPocalypse  this year, I will save that stuff for the 5th.

This week began with a finish. Finally finished crabby all year-April. It took way too long to complete. I discovered I was missing a few threads way back in spring. I not only finished the stitching, I went ahead and added the beads.

I am participating in new year, new start sal on a cross stitch Facebook group. I was so thrilled to get this started finally. I have had this pattern waiting about a year now. 

This is Earthdancer by Butternut Road. I am stitching on 32 ct. Wexford linen. It's Silkweaver's fairyland. This is two days progress. I am loving it so far.
