August WIPocalypse

Its that time of the month again, where I check in with this group that is doing the WIPocalypse SAL  You can check out the other posts here.  Currently, I am so in love with my new way of stitching.  Forever, I was a one project at a time girl,  followed by  a couple going at on time.  Then I started following #24hourchallenge group on Facebook....  I am in love with stitching this way now.  I feel like I still keep myself in check with maybe 10 projects going.



I start out every month working on "A Year of Celebration" by Hands on Design along with the Stoney Creek Collections "Quote of the Month".

Then I just move onto the SAL's I have going.  I am working on Hello Pumpkin by Caterpillar Cross Stitch and Emerald City by Owl Forest Embroidery.  I love these mystery stitches, but not sure that I could do more than these two and keep up with it.  Here are what these are looking like.

I have been stitching on Sue Hillis Designs "Bringing Home the Tree"  I am calling this a finish do to I am just over it.  The fabric I dyed made the holes to tight and I am going to just make small pillow or something.  Long story short I am calling this a finish. 

"Autumn Times" by New York Dreamer is another finish for me this month.  I am enjoying working on this series as well.

I started another new series by Hands on Designs called "Chalk Full"  This series is close to my heart because I was raised just outside of Muncie, Indiana and that is the home of the Ball Corporation. (Meaning Ball canning jars)

  Fun fun, then I think the last piece I am worked on this month was "Cute PJ's" by Sue Hillis Designs.  I just have one more pair of pj's to stitch and this will be ready to fully finish.  

So busy stitching month and I am enjoying switching up projects allowing me to see progress on several different things. Besides I can be moody and need to change it up from time to time.  Oh I almost forgot...I did stitch everyday on my Harry Potter again (3 months going)  but it is at work and I forgot to take a picture for you.  Next month I promise!!!!

Every month we are given a question to answer here is this months....

Question of the Month: What do you have on your stitching bucket list?  (for example, specific projects, designers, fibers, etc) 

I just added something to my stitching bucket list yesterday.  It is a design/kit from Russia that I am dying to get ordered.  The designer is Owl Forest Embroidery and the kit is...   "Sweet Home" 

I would be over the moon to get this...we will see!!!

I think this just about wraps it up for this month.  I look forward to see what everyone else has been up to....  So until next time I hope you have love, peace, and stitching time in your life.
