Last WIPocalypse of 2012

The end of the year! Wow, where did it all go?  No end of the world and we're all still here which means we must now compile a list for 2013 of all the stitches we want to complete. In the meantime I have a couple more finishes for this past month as well as a couple of new starts.

Just in time for the holidays I finished my Blackbird Designs 'Tis The Season. This was a joy to stitch and I can hardly wait until I can get it framed and on my walls. Those of you who read my blog regularly will have seen pictures of this one posted already.



This was followed by one more small finish which I stitched as a gift for my son's girlfriend. They have two kittens this Christmas which are wrecking havoc with the tree and I thought this ornament was perfect for Stef.

I also received a new chart which I had hoped would arrive earlier and I couldn't wait to get started at. This is one of the 3 samplers from Heartstring Samplery Joy to the World and is called Let Every Heart. 



Joy to the World is one of my favourite Christmas carols and I love all 3 samplers in this chart so I will also be stitching the other 2 at some point in time.

I also started one more ornament to add to my collection. I hope to keep on stitching these throughout the year. This one is by Little House Needleworks and is called Bringing Home The Tree.



Edit: I forgot to include these two ornaments which I finished off  since my last WIPocalypse post.

I think I've done pretty well with my list for this past year. In fact I'm thrilled with what I managed to complete! I've finished all except for my two new starts, Paradis Perdu, which is still in progress and 2 other charts ( With Thy Needle & Thread Snow Day and Prairie Schooler Garden Sampler). I'm adding Snow Day to the list for next year but I'm still not sure about Garden Sampler. I have so many others which I'm itching to get started at.

My first start for 2013 will be Alesandra Adelaide Maple Leaf which I'm doing as part of a SAL with my Eastern Ontario stitching buddies.

I hope that most of you have accomplished your goals for 2012 and I look forward to seeing what's on your list for the coming year.
Enjoy digging through your stash, I know I am!

  2. Love your BBD finish and all the ornament finishes! Well done on achieving so many of your stitching goals this year, Lynn. That is wonderful. My stitching has been almost non-existent since the summer but I'm hoping for better in 2013!

  8. You have done a ton of stitching this year, but I think the cardinal may just be my favorite, Lynn--really gorgeous!

    I've always meant to stitch the little kitty ornament, too--so cute...

    Wishing you and your family a joyous New Year!

  11. You really accomplished a lot during the past year, and such beautiful projects. I'm sure the new stitching year will be just as successful. I'll continue following your stitching progress on your blog.
