WIPocalypse 2020 Intro

I’ve been following several folks who have been participating in this for the past few years and I’ve decided to jump in myself. I’m sure that most who will read this already know what it is, but the WIPocalypse is a fun SAL hosted by Measi’s Musings. The aim is to work on those projects you’d like to finish before the end of the world.

As for me, I’m 52 and live in upstate New York with my husband and our two dogs, Zoey and Cheeks. I work full time for a cablevtrleviion company, managing the billing system. I also work part time as a 911 dispatcher, My stitching time is also limited by the fact that I’m working toward a second college degree.

I love cross-stitch and crochet, but also dabble with knitting and other forms of embroidery. I’m also a reader and a runner… I’m doing my first half marathon next month.

I’m hoping that joining in here will help me to make time for stitching as it helps keep me centered. I’m sure I’m missing projects from this list, but these were the projects that I could locate easily. (One of my major goals for this year is to get the room I’ve designated as my craft room set up and organized so I can find things when I want them!)

These are my current projects with pictures:

Christmas Spirit Double Flips by Lizzie*Kate
Toys and Hobbies Stocking -Better Homes & Gardens
Smoke – Fire Wing Designs
Autumn in the Meadow-just Nan
A Sparkly Christmas -Waxing Moon Designs
Earth Dancer -Butternut Road Designs
Peacock Tapestry -Teresa Wentzler
Heirloom Nativity -Victoria Sampler
English Garden Sampler -Teresa Wentzler
Mystery IX – Chatelaine Designs
S Letters from Nora – Mirabilia

I’m going to stay pretty basic with goals for this year. I need to get my stitching room set up. I need to finish S and C from Letters by Nora which will be gifts. I also want to finish-finish at least 6 of mybpreviously stitched items. I’d also like to get back to blogging on a weekly basis.
