Topic: Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!Hello, my name is Jaret and I am back for my 4th year of WIPocalypse. I am an elementary school teacher from South Louisiana. I love cross stitching a variety of topics and themes (really, anything goes with me). On top of cross stitching, I also quilt, scrapbook, and read. Last year, I had 8 crafty finishes and FFO'd two cross stitch pieces. It was awesome and I'd like to do more this year.
I do follow a rotation, of sorts. I have a monthly focus piece based on Stitch Maynia's monthly SALs. I am not on Facebook at all, but I do watch Flosstube and the Flosstubers I watch usually give me enough notice on the theme so I can plan my focus piece. Then I have a list of WIPs that I rotate through.
I maintain 28 WIPs at all times so I don't start a new piece until I finish a piece. This sort of keeps me under control, but I still get enough variety for my stitchy bug.
My goal for the year is the same as last...to stitch. My finish tally is never very high and I'm okay with that. So my main goal for cross stitching is just to stitch and have fun. I would like to FFO more pieces this year since I'm watching a lot of tutorials on how to get some of this done. The Flosstubers and Bloggers I stalk have begun to inspire me!

ReplyDeleteGlad you like my Alice charts, I'd love to stitch more Alice. It's one of my favourite stories.
Pleased to meet you! Good luck with your rotation. 28 is a good number of WIPs and I look forward to following your progress thru the year ;)
