September WIPocalypse

Today is the last Sunday of the month which means it's time for a WIPocalypse update. What's WIPocalypse? A push to finish all our WIPs before the end of the month. I use it as an excuse to recap what I've worked on since the last update. I write down in a daily planner what I work on each day and go over my progress for the whole month. It's so helpful to see progress on my WIPs. Don't worry I won't finish them all because I add new ones all the time to keep that from happening haha. So let's see what I've worked on since the last check in.

It's been a busy month. 22 different projects was worked on because of ABCingo and other challenges. Only 2 days with no stitching during this time. 4 starts but 1 finish so that's okay haha.

Measi also gives us fun questions to answer with her challenge... September 29 – How did you learn to stitch? I always loved doing something crafty. I was walking through a store and noticed the Counted Cross Stitch section and I seen a dragon pattern. So I figured I should try it. I sat down and read about it and started. I was in love. I've doing needlepoint and latch hook rugs and other things but counted cross stitch for whatever reason stuck. I love it and I am so thankful I found it. That was in high school before 1997 but then when my son was born in 1998 I wanted something to do while watching him grow up. I picked it back up and haven't stopped yet. Can't wait to read other answers. Thanks for stopping by. See ya next month.
