Not at much progress as I'd hoped

I never seem to get to the weekly update on Sunday. I think I will change the day I try to get it up. 

I didn't get as much done last week as i had hoped for.  I started with good progress but then I noticed a mistake and had to frog quite a bit.  I had been hoping for a near finish  but that didn't happen. Oh well there is always next time.  I enjoy working on this.  It is different than cross stitch. It's a nice change sometimes.  


This week I am working on Japanese Garden. I am working on the outer border. I can't wait to get all the Jessica stitches done so I can work on the bridges.  That won't happen this week, but maybe next time I get it out.  I am moving along nicely though.  You'll have to wait for my next update to see pictures.

WIPocalypse update- January 2012

The first WIPocalypse update.  If you haven't heard of it or signed up you have until the end of January so hop on over here

Since I am also participating in a modified version of the Crazy January Challenge, I have lots of stuff to show this month.  It won't be this way every month.

 A Trio Of Angels-Harmony- Cross stitcher August '08

6.  Fire Goddess- Joan Elliott

7. Crabby all year- Raise The Roof- am stitching these separate. Will count a finish as each individual month. My plan is to get the first month done. 


8. Springtime Serenade-CCN
9.  Hop Squared-LK
10.  Coffee Crazy-LK- will count a finish as one of the three designs, have yet to decide which one

13. Joy Love Peace- CCN
14. Dogs Leave Paw Prints-LK  Finished 1/5/12

Crazy challenge days 8-9

The last two days of my challenge. I had a price for today- day 10 but I am missing floss so I can't start it. I am okay with that. I was getting overwhelmed with all the starts.

Day 8- crabby all year- raise the roof

I have had this chart awhile now. I am stitching it a bit differently. I am doing each month separately. I may or may not stitch the top that says crabby all year. I'll decide that at a later date. For this challenge I will count a complete as each month. My goal this year iOS January. This was boring to stitch as I stitched in only white. It is a large part of this month though.

Day 9- hop Lizzy Kate

This was a small price full of bright colors. Nice to stitch after a day of all white. I got about half of it done.

Now to decide what to stitch first.

Cjc- day 6 and 7

Day 6 brought a piece I have been wanting to start for awhile now. Joan Elliott- fire goddess. This is
Likely to be a piece I return to quickly.

I dyed the fabric myself. I love the
Colors of this so far. Oranges. A color I don't stitch with much.

Day 7- today brought a small project. One I just was bore with quickly. It's a Christmas ornament so I'm not bothered that it bores me. By September I'll be wanting to pick this up. It will likely sit until then.
