Wipocalypse Update

Well I'm late for this update!  What is a Wipocalypse you ask?  Head over to Measi's Mustings and find out about it :)  Anyway work has been very busy for me but I have been stitching up a storm!  I've added in some new pieces to my rotation.  We will get right to the update shall we?

I had a start and finish with Brooke's Books Advent Animals Katie Kitty

Ta Dah!

Next up is the Lizzie Kate Mystery Sampler Spooked!  Which was another finish! I didn't want to post photos of it before the Part three had been out for a good while but you can read about this project's ta dah post here

~ Where I left off ~

~ and the finish! ~

Next on the list is The Arab Tent which is by Heaven and Earth Designs and will take me a very long time to finish as it's my BAP.  Here is the last time you saw it ~

and where I got to on it ~

Not the best picture but I'm just about half way through page 1.  

Projects on Next Rotation

First is Stitcher's Studio.  I haven't work on it since last time I had posted on International Hermit and Stitching Weekend but it is back in rotation now.  Since it is IHSW this weekend I'll be working on it.

I have a new project that I will be starting from Clouds Factory!

Harry Potter - Giant Version

I'll be making it for Anna and I can't wait to get started!  I just need to get a few threads for it.

I will also be starting on the 2nd Advent Animal Peter Polar Bear 

these three I'm planning to work on for International Hermit and Stitching Weekend.  I can give you an update then when I post about it next week.

See you then!

Lizzie Kate Mystery Halloween Sampler Ta Dah!

Hi! I thought I would share a fantastic finish!  It's the 2016 Lizzie Kate Mystery Halloween Sampler.  I started it back in June around the end of the month.  It is in three parts and each part was released each month through August.  I finished part one below mid July and started part two ~

Part two was finished a week before part three came out in August.  I just love the little pumpkins and the witch on it!

Part three what a lot of fun putting it all together and revealing the entire piece!

And finally here it is in all it's glory!  My finished Mystery Halloween Sampler Spooked!

Ta Dah!

I had noticed when I took this picture that I had left out a stitch on the blue diamond on the left of the house so I did make that one additional stitch!  Here are some of the closeups of the piece.

This project was a total hoot to make!

TUSAL Post and A New Start!

Hi everyone!  I've been working a good bit on Spooked so I can get part 3 finished.  I'm still loving stitching this wonderful chart and it is going to be so cute and I can't wait to show it to you :)

I do have a new start!  It is called The Arab Tent and is my first HAED that I've ever tried.  I am giving parking and griding a good old college try and so far I'm really liking it.  I'm trying to start as many of the threads that show up in each 20 x 20 block and so far it is manageable.  I watched a few youtube videos to get me started but I'm finding it is all about what makes you comfortable. So here is what I've done so far with it.

~ a close up ~

Today I have a picture of my cast offs or ORTS for the TUSAL and am a day late to the party but do have a little bit of threads to show that I've been stitching a good bit.  

I've only been collecting them since the first of August so I don't have a ton of ORTs so I grabbed a mason jar of course and started adding in my ends to the jar.  You can participate in the SAL over at It's Daffycat.  

Well that is all I have to show you today.  I'm going to get snug in my stitching chair since it's a nice rainy day.  Good stitchy weather!
