WIPocalypse April

I am getting nervious about this WIPocalypse addition, I really had no idea how much I still had to go! After working on her for a little under a week, I am going to put her aside until I can rally. I love the colors, and cannot wait until she is done, but I think The Mother may beat me on this one! The Maiden

Tsk tsk late WIPocalypse

I really wanted to post this sooner and I kept saying as soon as I finish this section of 900, but it is getting further and further from the full moon...

The picture looks washed out, but it is late and I am too tired to take another. I will take better pics for international hermit and stitch weekend. The Maiden

The Maiden's WIPocalypse List

Finally, my WIPocalypse 2012 list is done! There were many more I wanted to add, so hopefully I will make it through all of these and more (I start working again on Jan 8th, so my progress will slow).

1. La Clef by Nimue

I fell in love with this chart the moment I saw it, and am awaiting it's arrival from France. This will be my primary project for 2012.

2. Venetian Opulence by Mirabilia


The second largest project I have added, while the remainder is daunting, I must have her hanging in my home!

3. Mermaids of the Deep Blue by Mirabilia

I had hoped to have this finished by New Year's, but I was distracted by holiday stitching, so it made the list.

4. Lilac by Nora C.

This is so close to being done I felt it would be a good one for the list. My goal is to get my WIPs to a more manageable state!

5. The Garden Ornament by Handwork Samplers

This is a gift I have been promising the Crone for 2 years now, so it must get done. The project is very close, but 36ct over one has proved very challenging!

6. Love Letter by Full Circle


The Crone found this for me in Reno while visiting the Mother, and I knew it was for me the moment I saw it. I started it last night, so technically it is a WIP (he he).

7. Skull Banner by AAN

Wait until you see my fabric... With so many Halloween projects in my stash one had to make it onto the list! I started this at my LNS months ago, but it has sat neglected.

Maiden's Venetian

I have been meaning to post this for a while...



A new friend in my stitching circle took one look at my Venetian and started her the next day. She is a beginner, but learning fast! I hope to return to Venetian in the new year, once MoDB is finished. I am so excited to see some of the blues and greens come into the dress! The Maiden.

Venetian Opulence

I have been a little frustrated with my WIPs lately. I have over 20 going (mostly Mirabilia's) and none are any where near finishing. Venetian Opulence is visually stunning, and perhaps the closest to a finish. I just wish it was not solid for the second half! The maiden.

Mirabilia Venetian Opulence

4 rotations, missed 2. The fan is finally done, now if only I could get passed all that pesky skin! Sadly 3 of the 5 Mirabilias I choose for this cross stitch rotation need work with the boring flesh tones! She is not as far as I wanted, but progress none the less. The Maiden

Venetian Opulence

Every time I see this piece I want to run home and work on it! This is truely color therapy! I figuered I should post an update since The Mother recently did... still so far to go, but at least the fan is almost done! The Maiden
