December Wipocalypse Update, and a look back.

Well, it is finally here! I actually completed a full year of the wipocalypse. I can't believe that a full year has passed... I still can remember starting this a year ago. And! I got quite a bit accomplished when you look back. First, you can see below my latest progress on Noah's Ark (Teresa Wentzler).

 

As for my year of Wipocalypse, here are the goals that I set out for myself in January, and  their progress:

~Finish Stargazer (just have to finish the beading) I finished this here

~Continue on Plight of Fancy (Long Dog Samplers) My latest progress on this is here. It's pretty bulky, but I just unwrapped a FANTASTIC Lowery Stand from my parents this morning, so in the New Year I plan to throw this onto some stretchers and finish it that way. Should be way less cumbersome and far more enjoyable!!

~Continue work on Angel of the Morning, and if possible finish it (MLI) I did finish this here. It's gorgeous, and everything I hoped it would be.

~Continue work Fairy Moon (Mirabilia). Nope. I think I did put in a few stitches on this, but promptly lost my taste for it again. 

~Continue work on How Does Your Garden Grow (Papillon Creations) This was the first piece I finished in 2012, and you can see it here.

 

~Continue work on Castles in the Sky (Papillon Creations) I picked this up again, and realized I had grossly miscounted a large section of the piece. I am not sure where the error is, but I may scrap it and start over. I don't mind restarting it, as I wasn't keen on the colors I picked.

~Start Time Well Spent (Sampler Cove) My current progress on this can be recapped here. I haven't worked on it since July, and my interests are elsewhere at the moment. I may work on it more in 2013.

~Start Celtic Banner (MLI) Yup. I've made pretty good progress on it - I'm about 1/2 way through it. Current progress can be seen here.

 

~Start (and finish) Far Away (Shepherd's Bush). Done. It will be given as a Christmas present. This was one of my earlier finishes this year.

 

~Start (and finish) the daughter sampler that I can't think of the name of right now. Started, but not finished. I think I miscounted the fabric, and may be short on the bottom. Oopsies. I will likely need to restart this this year. At some point. I won't show current progress, all things considered, but if you want to dig back on Wipocalypse updates, it is in there.

 

~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). Nope. I am rethinking my goal on this. I don't think I will do this as gifts - I think I just want to do this for myself, so I am not sure when I will work it.

~Start the three other Miniature Season Samplers (all TW. Well, I started and completed one more, so there are only two left. Winter was my last finish for the year, and you can see it here. 

Now, time to think about the new starts and progressions for 2013!!
