WIPOCALYPSE 2012!

As I said before, last year I lost my stitching mojo for a while. I got pretty burned out and bored on beading the Mira piece I was working on, and for some time thereafter did not pick up a needle. I got it back though, and managed to finish a number of smaller pieces throughout the end of the year (I even had one last 2011 finish yesterday while at work).

Measi has organized a WIPOCALYPSE for 2012 for us stitchers to jointly work on reducing our WIPS (aka Works In Progress) which is something I had already come to the conclusion I was going to do because I have a number of pieces so close to finish (including that Mira piece that caused me to lose my mojo). As I was talking with Stasha on FB yesterday I was like... and I want to START this, and I want to start that... and I want to start this, and... well, you get the idea. I NEED to FINISH SOME STUFF TOO!! LOL... 

So my stitching focus will be on:

~Finish Stargazer (just have to finish the beading)
~Continue on Plight of Fancy (Long Dog Samplers)
~Continue work on Angel of the Morning, and if possible finish it (MLI)
~Continue work Fairy Moon (Mirabilia)
~Continue work on How Does Your Garden Grow (Papillon Creations)
~Continue work on Castles in the Sky (Papillon Creations)
~Start Time Well Spent (Sampler Cove)
~Start Celtic Banner (MLI)
~Start (and finish) Far Away (Shepherd's Bush)
~Start (and finish) the daughter sampler that I can't think of the name of right now
~Start (and finish) some of the millenium SB ornament series for gifts from the JCS Ornie issues (my goal is to stitch the whole series over time for Christmas gifts)
~Start the three other Miniature Season Samplers (all TW)

I may add to this list as time goes on, as far as WIPS (I have a few others but not sure if I want to work on them this year). However, I won't start anything beyond what's on this list. And, per the WIPOCALYPSE I will post here on Full Moons with status updates which are:
