WIPacolapyse 2012

Well it appears that the end of the world seems to have past us by without too much fuss so I hereby present my sum up of my 2012 wipocalpyse stitching . Note the use of the word stitching not finishing as to be truthful there wasn't much of that happening this year but there's always next year. Warning - lots of pics!

 Finished yay!

2. Chatelaine - White Nights in St Petersburg   -  part 4 done, part 5 started

So overall not too bad - have really enjoyed taking part in this and already planning for 2013!

Cookies....

With Christmas come and gone I've now got back in to my rotation - last week I worked on Come to the Dark Side .. Darth Vader is slowly coming to life.  He'll be back in a few weeks.  

This week I'm working on my Chatelaine - picture of that will follow in Wipocalpyse sum up. Just sorting out what is going in to my rotation for 2013 - pretty much what was in it in 2012 lol!  Maybe a couple of new starts though just to shake it up a bit...

No work now till 3rd January and wet and windy weather means plenty of quality stitching time.  Excellent stuff.  

Wishing you all a happy new year.. to all who stopped by in 2012, thanks very much! 

Christmas

So this year I decided to take part in a couple of Christmas ornament exchanges. One with Kate from Momubocrea Island  and one with Ruth from Friendly Stitchers.  Both of these are now hanging proudly on my tree - thanks ladies!

 From Ruth to me

From Kate to me - love the little chocolate Santa in his stocking (I have to own up though that Santa is no longer with us but was very tasty .. )

Sent out from me

So now that Christmas stitching has been done normal service is resuming with getting back into my rotation and getting my new year SAL sorted for The Stash, Stitch and Honking Raketeers Group (facebook group).  Am going with HAED Mini Sea of Roses  



- can't wait to get started on it.

 Have also realised that we are nearly at the end of our WIPOCALYPSE for 2012 (that has shot by fast!) so will be back after Christmas with a round up of my stitching year..

October wipocalypse. . And a page finish yay. .

<p dir=ltr>A self explanatory title.&nbsp; All I have to show is a page finish. . So pleased as it makes me think that I will actually have a haed finish one day. Other than that started on a couple of Xmas ornies which I wont show at present..

Off to Harrogate this weekend to meet up with some stitchy friends .. so looking forward to this..I am I'm definite need of a weekend away.

So near.

I was going for a page finish but just ran out of puff come Sunday night ... and haven't had chance to pick it up till now. Planning a corrie catch up and  tonight it will be done!

September WIPacoplyse/IHSW/General catch up..

Okay I know we are in the middle of October but this is technically my Sept WIPacolypse post - the days are just running away from me.. I am sure a lot of you know what I mean..

This is also going to be my pre-IHSW post as well, I have a wee sneaky day off work today as it the kids October holidays this week so planning on some extra stitching time especially as dh Lee is at work, ds Neve is at her friends and ds Joe has a new lego set so I won't see much of him.

During September we got a night away with the family down to Blackpool and spent the day at the Pleasure Beach - Neve and Lee had great fun on all the big rollercoasters including The Big One (though Lee did look a bit shook up when he got off that lol!) but me and Joe took a gentler route and stuck to the more sedate rides .  I put my hands up - I am a total wimp when it comes to theme parks! Just looking at some of them makes me feel sick let alone go on them... attempted to see the Illuminations at night but hadn't reckoned on them being quite so popular, had to abandon as we were all pretty tired by then.  Definitely fancy going back to Blackpool for a couple of days though next time.

Stitching wise I have been chugging away on my HAED QS Twilight Shimmer and hope to get a page finish this weekend..

As of today

I've also been stitching on Part 5 of Chatelaine White Nights - there are 8 buildings to do, so far I've managed 1 and started another - every time I think I am getting somewhere I find another little bit to do, I was hoping to have part 5 finished this year but this not looking realistic at the moment.

As of today


I started a new start as well - Darth Vader Cookies - which is a freebie from here, Dork Stitch.  Hope to get this finished up for Christmas for my star wars/lego daft boy. Stitched on gorgeous sparklies "before the storm".

I took part in the first part of the All Hallows Exchange over on the HAED Addiction facebook group - received a couple of charts which I was so pleased with and planning to do it again on halloween.

Mini Sea of Roses



and

Mini Frost Moon



I am definitely planning a new start in the new year but it's going to be hard to decide what though.

Hope you all have a very stitchy weekend..always appreciate your comments.
