Old Habits

 So I forgot to post for a few months, and since then I have been to Vancouver to see Les Misérables, a show I've been wanting to see for years and it was worth the wait. And I also have booked a  trip in October to South Africa.  But until then there is stitching to do.

The question for March is Which of your current WIPs do you consider your most difficult piece to stitch?

That would have to be Waiting, it's my first time over one on 25 count, but I'm getting the hang of it. I have officially finished one page... of 30


And the Dimensions Cabin is coming along great, should finish this month

2026 To Good Intentions

 WIPocalypse 2025 Introduction

WIPocalypse is back and like usual I'll have high hopes to post every month like clockwork (usually Friday's as that's my day off)  and then I forget for a few months and do a mad catchup, luckily this group is very forgiving of such shenanigans

So to start with the first question Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!

I'm Nancy, a baker in British Columbia, Canada and have been stitching for 20 years or thereabouts. I'm also a two at a time stitcher and almost always finish one before starting another, in other words my only WIP's are the one's I am currently working on. I have no UFO's, yes my stitching friends find this strange.

This year I'm starting with an old Dimensions kits that I've had around for many years, Morning Lake a nice little 5x7 project


And I have decided to finally start one of the big ones. I have a couple HAED and  Unconventional Xstich patterns that have been hanging around for years, but I'm still avoiding them and going to a Tilton Crafts Pattern called Waiting. It's my first one over one on 25ct and will be 13"x17.5" when done, it's also 90% blue.  So the plan is to just pull out the second project anytime I get tired of blue.
