2019 Kickoff to WIPocalypse

Let me explain what this is then I will dig into the details....  WIPocalypse is something that was started a few years back from a blogger/stitcher that made reference to the world ending...  WIP stands for work in progress. So this fun group is trying to get their stitching done before the end of the world. 

 If you want more details about it check it out here.  Basically, I am to have fun stitching, check in with group by posting update pictures and then participate in the Stitchers Bloggers Question. Oh and this is done on the Full Moon every month.  Totally my vibe!!!

Therefore to Kickoff 2019, I am to introduce myself, my projects, and any goals I have for the year.

Hello.  My name is Janet.  I am a wife and mother to 3 teenage kids. (1 girl and 2 boys).  If you would like more of the details click here. ( this is just my profile info) as for my stitching story.  I stitched my first piece when I was about 18 yrs old. 

Then didn't pick the hobby up again until I had my daughter when I was 29 yrs old.  I needed something to do when all she did was sleep.  My sister introduced me to a wonderful group of ladies call the Hoosier Stitchers.  They would get together once a month around Indiana and hold a retreat once or twice a year.  I love this group of ladies!!!  By this time I was hooked!!!  I have been on and off for almost 20 yrs now.  This is my first piece I stitched.  I still love it to this day, not sure why its not finished finished....


The projects I am planning for this year is a fairly large bit but I have the stitching bug right now so here goes.
