Wipocalpyse 2021

 The less said about 2020's goals the better. Let's just pretend that whole year didn't happen. 

I am joining WIPocalypse 2021 which is a blog hop and the brain child of Measi's Musings. This is the second time I'm participating and I love the idea of keeping track of the progress on my WIPs and following along with everyone else's progress.

I am Amy. I live on the East End of Long Island, New York. I learned to stitch as a teenager but stopped stitching during graduate school and when my children were little. In 2015 I picked up a kit on Amazon and later discovered the vast array of amazing designers and new fabrics and floss. I've been stitching non-stop ever since.

I am participating in WIPGO 2021 on Facebook. You can find all the information about it on Jessie Marie Does Stuff on Youtube. Essentially one constructs a BINGO board out of WIPs or new starts and determines a goal for each square. I intend to work 10 hours on each project called. I feel that this is a reachable goal.

Squares 1 through 6 are new starts. My plan is to start a new ornament every other month so that I'll have them by the time we put up the Christmas tree. I will work on the ornaments below and from the Just Cross Stitch 2020 Christmas Ornament magazine.

Square 8: Halloween Fairy by Nora Corbett

Square 9: Christmas by Renato Parolin

Square 10: Hanukkah Table Topper by Dutch Treat Design

Square 17: Fa La La Llama by Satsuma Street. This will be a Christmas stocking for my granddaughter.

I love this pattern so much. The specialty stitches are a blast.

Square 21: Susannah Walker, 1848 by Modern Folk Embroidery

I started this on Christmas day and I've been obsessed with it. 

Square 22: A new start: Pretty Pumpkins by Glendon Place

Square 23: A new start: Sister Suffragette.

And I left the final square, 25, to work on any new start or WIP.

Thanks for checking out my plans for the year. I hope you have a happy and healthy New Year.
