WIPocalypse is hosted by Measi's Musings
Just Nan - Spring in the Square
Measi always gives us a topic to discuss too.
Each month we have to share the projects we want to complete before the End Of The World. I have chosen my "17 in '17" which are the 17 projects I want to focus on this year. You can see the full list on this page here.
This month I have worked on a massive 7 of the list!! I even had a finish.
Imaginating - Hallowe'en

January - What SAL’s are you participating in this year?
Quite a few! I much prefer the open-themed SALs, such as WIPocalypse where I can fit my own projects into the posts rather than the ones were everyone stitches the same design.
Here's the full list:
First Saturday of month - The Alphabet Club - we are working our way through the alphabet, the next letter will be S.
15th of each month - Gifted Gorgeousness - link up with anything which was a gift to you or is intended as a gift
21st of each month - Theme-tas-stitch - Post something connected with that month's theme.
26th of each month - Now I Know my ABCs - stitch something beginning with the letter. Next month is I
New Moon - TUSAL - show us your ORTs!
Last Friday of month - Smalls SAL - post anything small you have stitched this month.
Last Sunday of month - WIPocalypse - post before the world ends!
End of Month - 17 in '17 - this is a quilting group co-incidentally doing the same thing as me, so I'm linking up with them too
End of Month - Stitch From Stash - now on Facebook, keep within a budget and stitch what you already own.
Throughout the month I also have the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL blog, the Christmas Ornie SAL blog and various Facebook themed SALs.
Kaye and I are doing one traditional SAL where we both stitch the same design - The Drawn Thread's Spot of Seasons. So far we have stitched Spot of Winter and on 1st March we will start Spot of Spring. I have also purchased Part 1 of the Stitchrovia Quotes to Live By partwork because all profits are going to MIND. I will wait and see whether I like the other quotes until I start that one. You buy each month separately so you could just stitch a few of them as ornies if you don't like them all. That's the main reason I don't do mystery SALs, I don't know if I'm going to like them! If I can't keep up I run out of enthusiasm too.
Finally, as well as the SALs I run my Blog Hops. There are usually five a year; Easter, Summer, Hallowe'en, Advent and the next one which will be Valentine's Secret Stitching Sweetheart. If you'd like to take part in this one please leave a comment. I will ask you to send me a photo of something you have stitched which would be suitable for a Stitching Valentine. I send a photo to each participant and we all hop around on the 14th to see who received each Valentine.
