WIPocalypse 2018

Welcome to my WIPocalypse 2018 jump page.

I have a set way I like to do my WIPocalypse, which involves a tab and keeping this single post for editing and updates.   I get these general posts to post to a tab in my blog header, so I can update it through the year.  I will do my first official entry on the first entry "date," so check back on Jan 7th for that one if you're interested/would like to comment.

My WIPocalypse line up and posts only take actual current (as of Jan 1) WIPs into consideration.  Nothing started during 2018 will count.   I'm going to mix things up this year by adding in some non-stitching works, and adding in some projects that involve already-completed works that I'd like to finish all together.

As always, progress can generally be seen on the WIPs/UFOs tab.

Here they are, cross stitch listed from oldest to youngest.

1. Fantasy Sampler
2. Enchanter
3. Freshwater Pearls
4. Celestial Dragon
5. Fortunate Traveler
6. Chinese Dragon
7. BoInk
8. Deco Spirits
9. Epic RR
10. Desert Sunsets   - Done
11. Hearts Across America
12. Mill Hill Sugar Skull - Done
13. Blooming 9patch Quilt
14. Allietare Mystery Quilt (Bonnie Hunter from 2015)

As always, the goal is to get down to less than 6 WIPs (cross stitching). I don't do as much sewing, so I'd like to keep it to one sewing project at a time, but we'll see how that works out (all contingent on me finishing up the active quilt-WIPs I've got)

WIPocalypse 2017

Good god, 2017, where does the time go?

Here are my WIPocalypse projects, only WIPs/UFOs as of December 31, 2016 count (for me) in loose order of "need to kill in 2017":

1. Epic RR
2. Fantasy Sampler
3. Deco Spirits - progress
4. Desert Sunsets - 1 finished
5. BoInk
6. Freshwater Pearls - progress
7. Celestial Dragon
8. Stained Glass Zelda  Good reasons for starting; good reasons for not continuing :)
9. Fortunate Traveler 
10. Enchanter 
11. Chinese Dragon 

Here they are from oldest to youngest.

1. Fantasy Sampler
2. Enchanter
3. Freshwater Pearls - progress
4. Celestial Dragon
5. Fortunate Traveler
6. Chinese Dragon
7. BoInk
8. Deco Spirits - progress
9. Epic RR
10. Stained Glass Zelda  - Good reasons for starting; good reasons for not continuing :)
11. Desert Sunsets - 1 finished

Personally, I am tickled that I'm down to less than a dozen WIPs.
Goal is still to get it to 6; I could never be a One-At-A-Timer, but I do have a lot of kitted projects waiting in the wings, I'll definitely never finish all of my projects in my lifetime, though I can dream.

WIPocalypse 2016

My WIPocalypse goals are to get as many WIPs done as possible, I'd like to get a rotation down to 6 pieces.   Only WIPS as of January 1, 2016 will count for WIPocalypse, anything else I pick up is just naughty ;)

I have a spreadsheet I've made so that I can assign works to (loosely) themed "slots"

This is what I have in my WIP pile (not counting adopted works that someone else started that I'd like to pick up).
I'll update this page/post through the year (it's under the WIPocalypse page/tab)
