WIPocalypse Jan Update

Wow January has flown by!  I have certainly had some good stitching days for 2018. Hard to believe it's time for my WIPocalypse check in.   This months questions are 1) Are you participating in any SAL's this year 

Yes, I will be participating in Several SAL's this year.  The first one actually began on Dec 28th which is the #PCForestSnowfall SAL with Priscilla & Chelsea in honor of Chelsea's birthday.  This was a new start for me. Despite have 2 additional starts in January(see last weeks post) & working on another WIP,  I have a Finish!!

I'm in the Stitch Maynia Facebook group & they LOVE SAL's.  I've signed up for several random ones throughout the year, but the 2 reoccurring ones are Work that WIP  & Color A Day. Of course I  will participate in the SAL that started the group, where you have multiple new starts in May--hinse Maynia. 
In Work That WIP,  I will work on a project that I've started in a prior Maynia Year.  Since my goal is to finish those projects anyway, its a good way to spur me along.  For the Color A Day SAL I will try to find a wip containing the chosen color & put some of those color stitches in for that day.  This year it will change with the zodiac calendar. 

 I also plan is to stitch a modified version of Maynia. I will only focus on the first 15 days of the month.  If I have a previous years start still unfinished, I'll stitch on it that day.  If I've already completed the prior years starts, I plan to start one of the Gingerbread Village charts by Country Cottage Needleworks.  As I mentioned before, ultimately my goal is to have all of the Gingerbread Village Designs finished before Christmas 2018.

2) Will you be participating in any Olympic Challenges?
I do not plan to participate in the Olympic Challenges.  My plate is full and I don't want to stress out about my stitching : ).

Last week I revealed a swap piece that I'd started which I also completed on  Jan 28th.  I still need to FFO & get it in the mail.

New Year/New Start !

All in all, I'd say January has been a very good stitchy month! 
Until next time friends--Stitch on!  = ) Pam
