WIPocalypse Post #1

I wanted to post a picture of each item on my WIPocalypse page but found out that would be over 30 pictures!!  YIKES!!  So I will post what I have so far.   I finished stitching and have even framed Little Boys by Cricket Collection.  Shown below.

I have finished stitching By the Chimney With Care (Three Stockings for January) by Blackbird Designs.




I am currently working on Sweet August (Three Stockings for August) by Blackbird Designs.  Sorry for the lousy out of focus picture.  A better picture will be coming soon when they're stitched.





I also fiddled Anniversaries of the Heart and organized the floss - no small feat - and with all this would you believe that I am missing some of the colors?  I'm sure they are around here "borrowed" most likely for a different project.  I'll track them down soon.

Getting ready for the WIPocalypse  forced  inspired me to clean up my stitching room.

What A Great Idea

While reading blogs I stumbled across a reference to WIPocalypse  (thank you Kielrain for sharing what you found.)   I have signed up and will need to make a list of WIPs and UFOs I'd like to complete in 2012.  (I had signed up for something similar in 2011 but due to technical difficulties I couldn't overcome I wasn't able to participate. )  What a fun prospect and motivation to work on my stitching room to see what goodies may be lurking there.

The 1994 Santa is finished.  I put his last stitches on last last night.  I'm happy with the way he turned out.  Not sure how I want to finish him yet.  So into the box he will go.

Next up is the 1992 Santa by Prairie Schooler.  I think he is the oldest thing in my stash.  I'm not sure I want to dig any further to confirm that.  This is how he looked when I found him again last night.  So, I've got a long way to go on that one.  Sorry about the glare on the chart, that was the best I could do picture wise.  The others were even worse!

I hope to make progress on this guy tonight at Stitch n Gab.
