WIPocalypse Update 4/6/12

A little late update for April, but it is here by the last minute! LOL I have been working on an exchange piece so not alot of progress pics, but here is what I have.

Here is a little progress on LHN's Jessie Bell - Arizona Territory from last month.



And here isLove Liberty by Chessies & Me. This is where it was left off from last summer and I actually managed to finish it this month. WOO HOO!!!! I love how it turned out now to decide on the finishing.


I am currently working on a model that is rather large so will have very little progress on wip's but plan on having something for May. :) I have just finished stitching an exchange that isn't due out until June but wanted to be ahead of the game, just one more exchange to get stitched and then they just need to be finished before June. :)

WIPocalypse Update for 3/9/12

So i am very late getting my update in this month but i have just a couple little things to show but do have them before month end. Next month will be much better. LOL Been very busy finishing for customers.

I have a tiny bit of progress on my Quaker Diamonds piece by Rosewood Manor. I am stitching this one on 40ct over 2 using Valdani 6 strand floss. After seeing Yvonne's piece in person all last week as she stitched on hers, I really want this one done this year.

I did start Arizona Territory by LHN in February and here is the progress so far. I am loving the colors in this piece. I am stitching it on 30ct WDW Cappucino fabric with the called for Crescent Colours cottons.

I did have one very small finish, as there wasn't much left to stitch on it, but I DID finish it. LOL Peep by LK from last year. The fabric is a very pretty light green from Dyeing4U fabrics (no longer in business that I know of). It won't get finished into anything before Easter as I am going out of town for a week tomorrow to see my sister and her family. Missing my niece and nephew.

And this is the Easter exchange I rec'd from Diane. We are doing a few personal exchanges a year and she blew this one out of the water.

Stash for Sale

Hi! Just a quick run by post, to say I have updated my Stash for Sale blog with lots of goodies. If you are interested in anything you can email me at kmdecker2000@yahoo . com

WIPocalypse Update 2/7/12

I actually have 2 FINISHES for my WIPocalypse update for February! WOO HOO!!!! I managed to finish up Easter Treat by The Trilogy over the weekend and just a few minutes ago put the final stitches in Beneath the Sunlit Sky by BBD. And there was a little bit of progress on This is My Joy by LHN, stitching it 1 over 1 on 40 ct with Weathered Vine Belle Soie.




You just gotta love Iphones and Blogger. grrr at least the biggest piece turned out straight. LOL

WIPocalypse Update 1/9/12

Just a quick post to share my little progress on my wip's.

First up is Beneath the Sunlit Sky - I am loving this one and am going to go sit down and pick it back up for a little while before heading to bed.


And I also started on January cottage by country cottage as my winter stitch instead of Percy the Penguin.


I have quite a bit of finishing to do for others so need to get that going as well, so stitching will be a little bit on the back burner for a couple days.

WIP's I am working on

Well I did get a couple pics of the few WIP's I pulled out of my basket from my first 15 to work on.
Here is Beneath The Sunlit Sky by BBD

Next up is Easter Treat by Trilogy

Next is Cottage Charm by Milady's Needle

And the last one I pulled out of the basket was The Maderia Tin class I took from Fancy Work a few years ago. I just need to finish stitching the pinkeep and assemble it. ugh why haven't i finished this one already???? LOL

I am currently stitching on Beneath The Sunlit Sky and really moving along (for me) and really hope to have it finished in a week (maybe). LOL But that is my goal. i really want to widdle down my WIP's, it is embarrassing how many i have. OY!

Another year has gone by

Where has the time gone? It really does fly by faster the older we get doesn't it? LOL I have been busy stitching Christmas Ornaments for family and exchanges, will post pics once i get them uploaded here. sigh....

I have joined Measi's WIPocalypse 2012 and have listed my first 15 WIP's that i want to get finished. Once I finish one, I will replace it with another WIP. I have way more than I ever imagined I would and will not post that number on here as it is WAYYY out of control. another big sigh............ BUT I am determined to finish alot of them and not let myself by any stash, except for fabric or threads if needed for a project until i have a few finished, etc. I have punished myself with not buying stash. LOL There is just one new start in the list and that one is Percy by Heart in Hand that i have just recently purchased (before Christmas) and want to get finished and up on my mantle with all my snowmen for the winter. Backwater Buck, affectionately known as, That Damn Deer, WILL be finished before March! It is for my hubby and it has been a UFO for close to 15 years. AHHHHHHHHH hence the name, that damn deer. LOL Our anniversary is March 2nd and I really want it done and then i can just rest easily, especially since he asks about it ALL the time.

I will post pics sometime this weekend of all 15 WIPS, so we can see progress etc. I have also purchased a large project for 2012 but won't allow myself to start it until i have at least 3 projects finished. It is Judy O'Dell's Mary Wigham 1790 Wardrobe and is absolutely stunning. Just click on that link Judy O'dells above and you can see detailed pics of it. It is a huge taking on, but i am in love with it, not the color as I am changing that to a red or blue.

Well, I need to get stitching, and hopefully back tomorrow with pics of my wips. Happy New Year to you all and have a safe and healthy one!!!
