WIPocalypse Intro

Well Hello I'm here to talk about WIPocalypse. I've done this for as long as I remember haha. The purpose is to stitch all our WIPs before the End of the World. What a fun purpose. Stitch!! I like to use this blog SAL as an excuse to keep track of what I work on and how long. I keep a weekly journal. Each day I write a note of what I've worked on and how many days I've worked on that project. (I no longer keep track of time in hours.) Then on WIPocalypse update days I go over what I've worked on since the last update. It really helps me see my progress on WIPs through the year. Measi also gives us a fun question we can answer each time too. 

So first off head over to Measi's information post on the SAL if you need more information. Then sometime today there will be a check in post on her main blog. 

Today's Task: January 8 – Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!

I'm Katie. I am happily married to Fred. We have a wonderful son named Jeremiah. He is now 24! Wow how is that possible. I've blogged here forever and a day haha. I love blogging. Life has thrown me a lot lately. So I went pretty silent for awhile but I am back better than ever. Well I hope so at least. We live in Indiana. Just moved into our happy place which is a cabin on a private campground my dad and step mom own. We left a 4,000 square foot house with way too much crap to a 12x24 room. I suddenly lost my mom in October. I was her caretaker. So my life has drastically changed. I am caretaker still for my son. He has Cerebral Palsy and can't walk without assistance. So we do everything together. Which is okay with me. I am healing and learning who I am. I do one thing a lot.... I love cross stitching! Plus blogging. So I talk about that mostly. Life sneaks in too because I write my blog like I'm talking to a stitching friend because if you are reading this......you must be a stitching friend. If not....Nice to meet you. 

I stitch on EVERYTHING haha. I don't have a rotation. I tried that. I stitch on what I want when I want to. If I want to start something I will. So who knows what I will be working on next post haha. But I do have some goals for the year...

I want to finish this Soda Stitch pattern each season...

I have the gnome and some of the wheel barrel stitched up on the Winter one now. 

I'm doing these each month...

There are a lot of other things I might finish this year. But I will stick with the might want to finish. Who knows something else might just pop in and take priority. These two are my big GOALS for the year. Keep it light. Keep it happy. 

I normally check in on Mondays. So come back tomorrow if interested. Love yourself. Smile.
