January 2013 Wipocalypse Check In

Well here we are. The beginning of another Wipocalypse challenge! Unlike last year, I don't have a list of things I plan to work on... I pretty much plan to stitch whatever strikes my fancy as the year goes. 

So far I have started Anthony Minieri's "Stars For A New Millennium". This is my first foray into canvas work. As you can see below, I haven't gotten too far... Those argyle triangles will be the death of me unless I suddenly grow two more arms. The fiber I am using for the long stitches (trebizond) is so slick that I have to hold it taught with one hand whilst tacking it down with the couching stitches. Needless to say I have gotten distracted by other things in complete avoidance of those triangles. Maybe this is why Stasha told me she hated trebizond? Hmmm...

I've also started work on MLI's Firefly Fairies, which has been calling to me for a while now. I am working it on Picture This Plus' 32 Count Belfast Crystal Carnival. The picture makes it seem so much more peach then it is. It's actually more yellowish and green. 

Other than that I hope to do TW's 12 Days, each as a separate piece, and also TW's Paisley Corner (x4) to make either a pillow or decorative chair seat.

That is all.
