Year of WIPs 2018

Hi all!

I am not dead!  Neither is my stitchy-bug!  I just lost interest in updating my blog for some reason.

So I will do a post of things I've finished since my last post, things I've started, and maybe a few things I've bought?

But for now, I am going to post my Year of WIPs pieces!  Year of WIPs is hosted on Soulful Stitching on Facebook - you have to join the group and sign up for it before the 18th of January.  No new starts, WIPs only, and a minimum of 10.  The goal is to finish at least half of them by the end of the year.  Most people are doing 18 or more.

Mine is 23!

So here goes:

1. 'Voice of Spring' by Gloria and Pat, on 14ct white

2. 'Angel of Hope' by Lavender and Lace, on 32ct charcoal

3. 'Welcome Guests' by Janlynn, on 16ct tan

4. 'Archangel' by Mirabilia, on 32ct 'Thunderstorm'

5. 'Santas of Fable and Fantasy' by Cross Stitch and Country Crafts, on 28ct Wheat

6. 'Sunset Birds' - printed kit from China, on 11ct with the background printed.

7. 'Lovers' by Nene Thomas and HAED.  On 22ct cream

8. 'Friendship Keepsake' by Sunset, on 14ct pink

9. 'Chang Wufei' by me, on 16ct blue

10.  'Flower of the East' by James Himsworth and Dimensions, on 28ct antique white

11. 'Savannah Birth Sampler' by Dimensions, on 14ct white

12. 'Unspoken' by Adele Lorraine and HAED, on 22ct white

13. 'Frosty Forest' by Country Cottage Needleworks, on 32ct Silvery Moon

14.  'Rose Bouquet' by Charmin, on 14ct white

15. 'Acquainted with the Night' by Design Works, on 14ct white

16. 'January' by The Prairie Schooler, on 32ct Lambswool

17. 'My Day Off' by Design Works, on 14ct white

18.  'Lucky Fish', another printed kit from China.  It didn't come with a picture.  On 11ct white.

19.  'Live Simply' by Dimensions, on 14ct white

20. 'Three Kings' by Gloria and Pat, on 14ct oatmeal

21.  'Teacup Kitten' by World of Cross Stitch, on 28ct blue

22. 'Laundry Today' by Dimensions, on 14ct white

23. 'Footprints in the Sand' by Leisure Arts, on 28ct mushroom

And that's my list!  If I can get half of these done, I will be THRILLED!

So, sorry I've been gone so long, and I'll try to be better!  At least I will need to update monthly :D :D :D

Hugs!

Happy New Year!

Hope you all have a great one!  My family is not really superstitious, but we do joke that what we do on New Year's Day is what we'll do all year long, so!  Here's what I want to do today:

1. Start 'Unspoken'

2. Make cupcakes (done!)
