February is done!

Here is February! I ordered a steamer yesterday to help (hopefully) get the creases and wrinkles out better than my iron. I have always been rather frustrated about those darn wrinkles. I will be getting the frame and foam core from the framers tomorrow or Thursday. When I have it done I will post a picture of how it looks in the frame.

Happy stitching,
Adria

WIPocalypse 2012 Challenge

I have decided to join the WIPocalypse challenge. Melissa has organized this stitch-a-long.

The WIPocalypse is a stitch-a-long playing up on the joke that the world will end in 2012.  It's short for Works In Progress Apocalypse.  The goal for the WIPocalypse is to make progress on our projects.  On each full moon I will post an update of my progress. The dates are listed on Melissa's WIPocalypse blog page. I am doing this to better organize my crafting projects.

You can read more about this at Melissa blog up above.

I have organized my stitching list into WIPs, SALs, wish list future starts and those in my first tier stash. All projects listed below (excluding crochet projects) have fabric, threads and embellishments (when need) with each chart.

Below is my list. I am more than likely going to adjust the lists during 2012.
