WIP Pile and Stats

 This WIP Pile and Stats page is 100% inspired by Melissa at Musings of a Geeky Witch. Please check out her stats page on her blog at: Stitching Stats (measi.net)

I want to use this page as a working record of my WIP Pile and stitching stats and hope to update it every month or so. 

With a high level of projects on the go I needed a way to simplify my wip pile and reduce overwhelm.  I came up with the idea of splitting the pile into two smaller lists and just focus on one.

Projects worked on this year are highlighted in Green. I’m thinking of resetting the highlights on January 1st.

I started 2023 with 55 WIPS and managed to finish 2 projects so far, however I still found my pile intimidating so I abandoned a few WIPs and de-WIPped projects that had less than a 100 stitches and returned them to my stash. I now have 48 WIPs in total, aiming for another by end of December 2023  

STATS SUMMARY for 2024:
Start of Year Wips: 48
Not Priority Wips: 23
Completions: 0
Projects Worked on: 0
New Starts:0
Re-Stashed:0
Abandoned:0

WIPocalypse 2024: Intro and WIPs List

 Hello all, welcome to my blog where I talk about my favourite hobby, cross stitching. I may drop in the occasional blog post about my other hobbies, including crochet or knitting from time to time. My name is Bonnie, I'm a married and a mum to three gorgeous children; two girls almost in their teens and a baby boy. As you can imagine I’m kept pretty busy with family life and so cross stitching is my “me time” to help me relax and stay sane 😉 if I am able to fit it in of course.  ~~~~~~x~~~~~~x~~~~~~x~~~~~~x~~~~~~x~~~~~~  So for 2024 my goal is to reclaim a little bit of stitchy time on a regular basis and to reduce my WIP pile a little bit too. Therefore I have decided to participate in WIPocalypse which is a Stitch Along (SAL) created by Melissa Kent Krueger. Please check out her blog post  2024 wipocalypse info  for more details.  As you scroll down you will see a portion of the projects that I amassed since 2015 when I discovered cross stitching. To gain some control and begin

My 2023 Wrap Up

Welcome to my blog and thank you for taking the time to stop by and check it out. Here you will find posts mainly about my cross stitching but occasionally I may switch it up a bit and show progress on a knit or crochet project if the mood strikes. So to begin, I thought the best thing to start off with was a 2023 Wrap up post since we are now mid-December. 2023 was a good year for progress, considering I was pregnant for half of it and a new mum for the rest of the year, and the stitching success was largely due to the support and encouragement from my friends Sabea and Sarah. You can check out Sarah’s blog at  Marneys Mixed bag  and we are still trying to encourage Sabea to jump on the blogging bandwagon 😉. In 2023 we imposed a set of rules for ourselves to help minimise the effects of Startitis and see more stitches in our current works in progress.  The main thing was that we allowed ourselves only 5 starts for the year, 1 per quarter plus a birthday start. The new starts had to b

2024 Stitching Plans

I hope everyone is ready for the Christmas holidays and have some quality time to spend with the family and friends xx I have been spending a lot of time thinking about how I’m to tackle my stitching in 2024. I’m going to roughly do the same as last year: 4 New Starts Allowed: 1 per quarter. Birthday New Start will be in 1st quarter if I decide to have a new start.  Each wip to have 500 stitches put into it before moving onto the next wip. Each wip must be worked at least twice during 2024.  (this is due to WIPgo and Magical Stitches Yearly Challenge). Focus to finish months June & December: wips that have been called by WIPgo are eligible for Focus to Finish month.  Aim to finish 6 WIPs in 2024. Aim to work on 3-4 WIPs a month So with these guidelines in mind (all of which are stolen from my friend Sabea - if it works for her I’m sure it’ll work for me 👍🏻) all I needed to do was find some stitching groups and games on Facebook to help me get the stitches in and stay motivated.
