Better late than never, eh? 

Not all my WIPocalypse projects saw the light of day, but I did do a fair amount of crafting this year.  So, in review:

1. Unicorn Mystique.  This project is now finished, and I am super happy with it.  I would love to frame it for Oliver’s room. Before:

Now: 

2. Maiden and Unicorn cross stitch- this project saw not a day of action.  

3. Mask of Colors QS cross stitch- this project never saw the light of day.

4. Petal Fairy: I reached my goal of ~50% and started a new Mirabilia, Emerald Mermaid.  Success!

Before:

Now:

5. Beacon of Daybreak- I did work on this for a while, and reached the 50% mark.

Before:

Now:

6. A new Christmas cross stitch project- I started Lizzie Kate Christmas by the letter.  I’ve been working around a color that I ran out of, so it looks a bit odd.  But the thread has been ordered and I’m hoping to finish this project in 2015.  

7. Cross stitch for the baby- I completed a birth announcement, framed, etc.  Very happy about that.

8. Tree of Life Baby Blanket (knitting).  It took much longer than I would have liked, but I did eventually finish it.

9. Baby clothes (knitting).  Well, I finished the aviatrix hat.  It still need a button, and it finally fits (it was way too big when he was born, now he’s almost 11 months old).  It is super cute, pics soon.  I thought about knitting a sweater or something, but never felt inspired to cast on.  Part of my discinclination is the fact that outgrows his clothes so quickly. 

10.  Nursery decor / baby projects (sewing).  I finished the curtains and the crib skirt.  I made a name sign that is pretty darn cool if I do say so myself.  I pieced the quilt, though it’s not done yet.  I sewed a shopping cart cover.  I made two cute outfits- little suits for his Christening in June and just recently for Christmas. 

Better pics of his Christmas outfit to come, hopefully.  It’s hard to take good photos these days; he’s constantly in motion.  Not everything in my list got attention, but I also started (and finished) some stuff beyond the original list.  So, overall, I’m pretty happy with my WIPocalypse progress.
