<\/p>\nMy WIPs leftover from last year are all my big projects, which to be honest, I hadn’t worked on in months. However when I got them out, I could not resist starting in on them; they are now “active” again. Here\u2019s where I\u2019m at:<\/p>\n
Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread, maybe 1\/3-1\/2 complete:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ohhh I do still love this one! When I got back into it this week I discovered unfortunately I am off by one thread, only half a stitch! around the verse and a full stitch by the blue bow, which, since I counted from these elements, has bumped everything over from where it should be. Argh! But the wonderful thing about this sampler is I’m certain I can work with it. I frogged and redid one motif (the square on the left) so my edges will line up. The rest I will live with! Funny how we only notice some things when we’ve laid a project aside for a while and approached it later with fresh eyes.<\/p>\n
Next is the Joyful World SAL by Snowflower Diaries: also about 1\/2 done, not including the border.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It is horribly wrinkled due to being in the grime guard but it’s going right back so no sense in ironing it!! I was planning to attack the borders during the months I’ve already completed, but no, I’m going to save the border for the end because I’ll need 2-3 skeins in the same dye lot of several colors so I need to buy the new skeins together…better for now to stick with what I’ve got. So…continuing with October!<\/p>\n
Finally, here’s Heirloom Nativity by Victoria Sampler, not quite half done:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I worked on the Kings this week leading up to Epiphany. That’s kind of nice. I like to race through the pictorial parts to get back to the bands which are the most fun.<\/p>\n
I also have a couple shamefully neglected little projects, we’ll say they’re on hold for now…I do plan to work on them this year but they are not active on my radar. Hmmm….<\/p>\n
For new starts, I’ve got a (large) handful of smalls\/mediums set aside to start this year as well as 2 bigger things I’d like to do. The first of those which I started this week is the birth sampler for Baby. I’m making Just Nan’s Baby Celebration. I made Baby Garden for another of my Babies:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
and was thrilled to have another girl so I could make this one! I’m starting at the bottom this time. That blob will be a bunny.<\/p>\n
