Wipocalypse 2012 and a Return to Blogging…

For any of my non crafty or non stitchy friends… WIP stands for Work in Progress… and of course most know about apocalypse.  I have signed up for a SAL in which to finish any unfinished projects or to help me get new ones started and done that I would like to do.  My plan is to decorate my Christmas tree in 2012 with all hand made ornaments.  My tree will be done in the Cross Eyed Cricket mittens.  I love Vicki Hastings mitten designs.  She has more than enough to decorate a whole tree with no duplicates.  Just in case though I plan to also stitch a really cute snowman flake design that was in the 2010 Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue. 

I am including a list of all the CEC Mittens that Vicki Hastings so graciously provided to me to aid in my stitching efforts.  Wish me luck in this mighty task. 

2012 Will hopefully be a year of new beginnings.  My goal for the moment is to attempt to lose 40 lbs. (I need to lose much more but just concentrating on 40 right now).  Will keep all posted as the year goes on.
