Blog Hop #14

I have joined the Stitching Bloggers #14 hosted by Stitching the Night Away. This is my first blog hop so we'll see how it goes.
The questions for this round are:
What was your biggest stitching accomplishment in 2012?
What was your favorite stash acquisition in 2012 and will you be using it in 2013?

My biggest stitching accomplishment was finishing a piece and then framing it myself as a gift for my brother in law's wedding. My favorite stash acquisition would have to be several HAED (Heaven and Earth Designs) some by RAKing  and some by purchasing. I started one of them on January 1st as part of a SAL and I hope to start several other later in the year.

Grow Your Blog

While reading Peggy Lee's blog I saw a link that took me here to read about a party. It's a Grow Your Blog Party so if you would like to bring more followers to your blog come and join the party.

Last Wipocalypse

Well the world as we know it has not ended (which is a good thing). Next month I have signed up for two SALs as mentioned in my last post. I'll be posting more and stitching more I hope. I've signed up for another round of Totally Useless Stitch A Long (TUSAL) hosted by Daffycat. 

Here is where I left off with stitching The Quiltmaker in October. I was bad and didn't take a pic in November.

 This is where I am now. I've put her away for awhile and started working on Solstice and Equinox which I'm doing for my brother.

 Solstice as of  July 2012.

 Here is where I am now it's going faster then I thought.

Stitching Update

I know, I know I haven't been blogging lately but 'tis the season especially when working retail. I have been stitching though.

Here is where I left off in October.

Here is where I am now. I've even done some of the backstitching as I've gone. I still need to add the silver for the buttons and the needle.

2013 SALs

I've signed up for two SALs so far for 2013 the first is taking place at BAP Attack it's called Turtle Trot. It is for someone who have lots of starts but not many finishes. 

My second SAL is taking place in a facebook group that I'm in called The Stash, Stitch and Honking Raketeers Club. I'll be stitching a HAED chart called Mini Blue Topaz I'll be starting her on January 1st.

WIPocalypse for October

I've been busy stitching on The Quiltmaker. This is where I was last WIPocalypse.

Here is where I am now. I can't wait to get done with all of this blue and start another color.

I have become addicted to HAED either buying them for myself or from Raking some patterns. I've added several to my list. I'll be working on some next year which ones I haven't decided yet.
