In November, my stitchy bug went off to play and sulk, alternatively.  I did work on several projects, and diamond painting, at least.    My rotation started November 4 with We Do Disney, it took 2 days and I finished.  I also worked on the mini Mandala for 5 Days,…

Sometimes I love planning just as much as actual stitching!  Extensive plans for this year definitely helped me reach my goal, to wip down.  So, 2019 will have fewer WIPs in rotation, hopefully quicker finishes and perhaps more new starts.  I would like 8 WIPs, as that is a very…

September started with a holiday weekend, back to school, then lots of rain.  Not bad stitchy weather though!  I started my rotation with We Do Disney, not a WIPocalypse, piece, blogged here. Trick or Treat Fairy was my September finish goal, and she got 3 days.  I had 3 spools…

Another of my Maynia starts, We Do Disney by Stitchline (etsy) got some effort in September.  Though 5 days were planned, it only took 3 to reach the finish line, almost. I want to save the last little bit for vacation stitching when we visit Disney later this year.  …

I worked on Bird of Happiness, my Riolis kit of the Phoenix at the end of August.  It was a weird rotation month since did a lot of diamond painting and skipped one of my stitching wips, ending up with several “bonus” days at the end.   Previous progress from…
