WIPocalypse April 2013

What a month!  I can't wait until April is over.  Tired of tax season of all the stresses it brings.

I have managed to stitch this month, which is my stress relief, so that is good :)

The theme for April 25 was:  Designer – Mirabilia, Style – Samplers, Colors – Blue and Orange

I was impressed with myself that I actually managed to work on my Mirabilia.  Not much, but hey something is better then nothing!

Sabrina - April 25'13
I also worked on the following this month

Lizzie Kate - ABC Christmas
April 25'13

Celtic Banner - April 25'13

HAED - April 25'13

Ink Circles Rosetta - April 25'13

WIPocalypse report for January 2013

It looks like another full moon, which means it is time for another WIPocalypse post.
If you don't know what it is all about, please check it out!
This year Measi has also added themes to add to the fun.  The theme for this month is:

Theme: Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!





Well my name is Bonnie I am live in a small town east of Toronto, ON.  I have been stitching for quite a few years, but my passion have grown 10 fold since meeting a great group of ladies almost 5 years ago who are great enablers.  I also have been enabled by a great group on Facebook called the Superstar Serial Starters and Divine Disciplined Divas (SSS/DDD)





My WIP's at the beginning of the year are (and in no particular order):





As of today, I have only worked on Smaug and the Lizzie Kate







Christmas ABC @ January 26'13




Smaug @ January 26'13

 This year I planned to do 2 new starts on January 1st.  I started the AAN Maple leaf with my stitching friends, and the Sampler Gameboard as a SAL with the SSS/DDD Board on Facebook.
The gameboard was started in the afternoon, but haven't managed to work on it much since then.



Sampler Gameboard @ January 6'13

I stayed up until midnight on new years to start the maple leaf.  It was a fun stitch and managed to finish it on January 14th.





AAN - Maple leaf
January 1-14 2013



My goals for the year at the moment are:




  • Finish Smaug - hopefully by the end of spring if not sooner

  • Start Belle's Letters (B) by GigiR on February 1st with the SSS/DDD Facebook group

  • Start Fortunate Traveller with Dani, Christin, and Beatrice on May 1st.

  • Stitch an ornament a month

  • Re-start my HAED (for the 3rd time) and try to get a page done.

  • Try to reduce the other WIP's I have going.



I do have a few other little finishes to share, but will wait until the Ornament SAL post at the end of the month :)

WIPocalypse 2012 starting pics

December 31st is here.  I guess it is time to show how what many WIP's look like as I prepare for WIPocalypse.

My new start for 2012 will be the 4 seasons mandalas by Ink Circles


I also am going to add Baroque by Ink Circles and Spring Quakers to my new starts.  Spring Quakers is ready to go, but I still need to pick out fabric and thread for Baroque.

The following are the WIP's I'm also including, but not in any particular order. 

Magnificent Dragon - also known as Blair's stupid dragon

The bramble and the rose - Ink Circles

Fireweed - Ink Circles

Fish City

Magic Evening - Heaven and Earth

Sabrina - Mirabilia

The Castle - Teresa Wentzler
On a side note, I received a lot of comments about the size and and quantity of my WIP's for the WIPocalypse.  With work and school, I have no intention to get them all done this year.  I am mearly keeping all my options open.  I would be very happy to get one new and one WIP completed!

In a few minutes I am off to my mom's for a dinner.  I hope to not be to long today as I would like to get back to Sabrina.  I am also doing a Harry Potter Marathon until and after the CDN/US junior hockey game tonight
GO CANADA GO!!

Well this is probably going to be my last post of the year.  I hope you all have a wonderful and safe night, whatever you decide to do!
