January WIPocalypse Introduction

 

WIPocalypse is hosted by Measi's Musings

Each month we have to share the projects we want to complete before the End Of The World. Measi always gives us a topic to discuss too.


January - Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year


Since 2011 I have chosen a number of projects to focus on that year, starting with my "11 in '11" and increasing to "21 in '21" for this year. For 2021 the list includes some older WIPs, some BAP new starts and some partworks as well as seasonal stitching.

Here are the WIPs:

Day 8

Day 9

I am also taking part in WIPGO for the first time.  This is a FB Bingo group.  You choose 25 goals for the year and each month the Admin pick two numbers to focus on.  When you have met your goal, you tick off that block.  You can give yourself rewards for completing a row or a column.

Here's my WIPGO board:

For January the numbers 6, 13 and 18 have been called.  13 can be a free square so they call a third number in the month it appears.

The planned rotation this year will be:

Just Nan Daily Sampler - stitch a little bit each day, ideally first thing in the morning.
Just Nan smalls - aim to complete one per month. Will also be travel and work projects.
Evening stitching - smalls

Week 1 - complete the Stoney Creek 12 Days of Christmas for the month, then either a CCN shop or the HoD Scary Apothecary design

Week 2 - stitch the first WIPGO number

Week 3 - stitch the second WIPGO number

Week 4 - use Tiny Decisions to decide which project to stitch

The WIPocalypse posts are the last Sunday of each month

My other SALs are

The People's Choice - posts on the first Saturday of each month - theme in sidebar
Fully Finished Gallery - post anything fully finished on the 10th of each month
Gifted Gorgeousness - post anything gifted on the 15th
Smalls SAL - last Friday of each month

The TUSAL - post on the New Moon each month


Finally, I will be continuing with the ever popular Blog Hops this year. We will have Valentine's, Easter, the Summer Postcard, Hallowe'en and the Advent Calendar. All at the appropriate time of the year. I will be posting about the Secret Stitching Sweethearts for Valentine's Day very soon so watch this space.
