WIPocalypse for August

hosted by Measi's Musings

a little progress on Rose Watercolor Butterfly "P,Q & R".

A Prairie School freebie for the PS SAL over HERE hosted by Kaye.

I'm sadly lacking any other PS patterns right now, must check out ebay.

Finally, the reason I made so little progress on other projects this month,

I have finished page 2 of The Alchemist!! This is also my Huge A** Project update for the 1st.

That's all she wrote for now.

WIPocalypse for July 31

For the second time this month the participants of WIPocalypse are able to show their progress!

Yes, July 2015 brought us not one but two full moons, the elusive Blue Moon.

Question of the month

What makes you pick up a long abandoned UFO rather than beginning a new piece?

That's a good question. I'd have to say that I really don't like things that go unfinished. That and the fact that it's there, staring me in the face, begging to be completed or at the very least given some love and attention.

Not only did I get this far on these pieces but I managed to get my printer cooperating and

voila!

The Alchemist has come out to play!!

This is my Big Ass Project that's in my sidebar.

I'm combining both SALs on this one post, more stitch time ;)

WIPocalypse

Progress at last!

My needles are very happy!!

This month's question deals with Fantasy or Reality, what's our preference?

I happen to like a little of both on my cross stitch menu!

WIPocalypse for February

February's full moon brings with it

Measi's WIPocalypse at Measi's Musings.

Each month we post our progress on WIPs we have and encourage each other to put another stitch in to get the piece that much closer to being a finish.

Here's where things stood in January :

LITTLE SWEEPER

WINDOWSILL BIRDHOUSES

TWO LONG~EARED RABBITS POEM

and how they look today

just finishing up the back stitch

finding the outer edge and parking

some lettering love

I've also added over 5000 stitches to "THE ALCHEMIST" ! (HAP SAL)

ONE MORE POINT OF INTEREST,

If you're new to my blog and would like a chance at a GIVEAWAY I'm hosting, just pop over

HERE! A hint!!

It involves floss ")

This month's query,

What do you do when you're in a rut?

My solution is rotation, rotation, rotation!!!

I may not have many projects on the go but what I do keeps me happy.

WIPocalypse SAL January, 2015

With the full moon upon us, it's time for my first WIPocalypse SAL check in.

This is the second of three SALs that I have joined in an effort to "get er done" in 2015.

WIPocalypse is hosted by Measi of Measi's Musings and has been for the past three years.

I'm working on two WIPs at the moment with more on the way !

I started the Little Sweeper, a Weekenders kit, at Christmas

and she's coming along nicely. This is how she appeared at New Years

and today's progress.

(my apologies again for the blurred pic, my camera and my unsteady hands are forces working against me)

The other piece I had been stitching on is

Windowsill Birdhouses designed by Martha Edwards for Dimensions.

After sitting for too many years I picked this up again about 6 weeks ago but I stopped stitching once more, I'm not sure why. No doubt being anxious to start on The Alchemist, I suppose.

I'll be placing some stitches over the next couple of weeks.
