February WIPocalypse

Here's an update on my WIPocalypse progress for the last month. There hasn't been much stitching since my post last week but posting everything once again, all in one place, shows me just how much I did accomplish this month.

There were three Valentine finishes for the month, the first one was done as part of my commitment to an ornie SAL.


The Stitcherhood Love freebie


Threadwork Primitives Endless Hearts



Plum Street Samplers Lovely You freebie

I've also finished one other small which I can't picture yet since it will sent out as a RAK just as soon as the sewing is complete on it

I started stitching St. Patrick Bird by Heart in Hand Needleart.


My two larger pieces continue to progress.

Blackbird Designs Awake The Dawning Day

After taking this picture I realized that I have to frog out the word Cold and stitch it again. It's sitting up one row too high. Grrrr!


I'm not sure what's next on the list. I'm itching to do some Easter or spring themed smalls. As for larger designs, there are a few that have caught me eye which are being released following Market. If I stick to my WIPocalypse list, Fruit of the Spirit might be the next start. I already have it all kitted up and ready to go.
I hope your week is off to a good start. I'll be checking on your progress soon!

For my sweetheart

Finished just in time for the big day! I put the final stitches in this on Sunday afternoon. I ended up restitching the word True because it looked like I'd stitched it with only 1 strand of floss rather than 2. The floss is by Silk 'N Colors and the colour is In the Burgandy. It's a 12 strand floss and I think that somehow I managed to split one strand into two. It wasn't noticeable but I feel much better about it. This is to be framed and will hang in my DH's office. I'm going to let him pick the frame that he wants.

I had to work this past weekend so Bob took me out for dinner to celebrate the holiday on the Friday night. He made a reservation at our favourite tea house in the village of Williamsburg. Once there, we ran into another couple who are friends and asked them to join us. It was a truly enjoyable, relaxing evening and a great way to celebrate Valentine Day.

I have a new start to share but I'll save that for later this week. I'm heading to bed now. They're calling for a flash freeze overnight and I imagine the roads will be rather tricky tomorrow morning. I'm driving a rental since my car is now in for repairs so I'd rather leave early and take my time. I never feel as comfortable when I'm not driving my own car.

Thank you for your continued well wishes for my back injury. I've improved considerably since last week .


I'll leave you with a picture of a gift that I received from a friend at Christmas which I think is really appropriate for Valentine Day. Trish knows how much I love Jim Shore collectables as well as cats and added this beauty to my collection. It's called Cozy Heart. I hope you all had cozy hearts at the close of this Valentine Day.
