  • Week Fifty-Two, December 31, 2015 (a day late)

    - 01 Jan 2016
    A completion to celebrate the end of 2015! Well, part of one, anyway! I finished "Revenge": and here is how the "Roll Your Own" Mandalas look today: Other than that, Christmas day at brother-in-law's and then again on Sunday (for the other two

  • 2015 Round-up/Wrap-up and 2016 Goal-setting

    - 01 Jan 2016
    I pretty much wrapped up the year in my WIPocalypse report for December, but I have made a little progress since. I feel like I am a broken record because, in December 2014, I said "Like in 2012, I'm not that happy with my completion rate for 2013".

  • Week Three, January 21. 2016

    - 21 Jan 2016

  • WIPocalypse 2016 - January 24

    - 25 Jan 2016
    This will be my fifth year participating in WIPocalypse; I find it useful in keeping me on point, as it were. There are a lot of activities, ranging from the mundane (household chores, for example) to the creative (I’ve taken a major interest in paper

  • Week Four - January 28, 2016

    - 28 Jan 2016
    The fourth in what looks like a long series of short and boring, repetitive weekly updates on my stitchery. I spent one stitchery night preparing the mess made two weeks ago when I had to forge a whole lot of stitches due to a count count miscount. The
