WIPocalypse 2012

I joined Measi's great challenge (I favour this sort rather than the sort where you start a huge number of projects!! Guess why: well, I have SO many projects on the go...and never seem to finish any of them).

So I chose just 3 projects to start with:
1. Persian bookmark
2. The Token by LongDogs (to finish pages 1 and 2)
3. A new start: Cherry Blossom biscornu by The Sweetheart Tree.

So, drum roll, don't fall over please! I have JUST finished the Persian bookmark!!! My first finish for months and months, thank you so much Measi, I needed a kick-start and now really feel like I have accomplished something!!

For the next week, I think I'll progress on projects 2 and 3 then will go through my stash and find another SMALL project to finish.

Happy Stitching
Julie

Janine said...: Fantastic Julie. I am adding your blog to my reading list. BTW I love your book mark. Finish it as a pillow or a pinkeep. Well unless you need a bookmark that is. I love your 2 other projects. So you don't have sew cozy on that list?

Julie said...: Janine: you are too funny!! Sew Cozy indeed.....well seriously it may get on the list sometime in the near future, just didn't want my list too long at the moment, as I need to focus. And good idea about the pillow or pinkeep, I have made plenty of bookmarks (mainly in lace) but have given them all away, so I actually NEED a bookmark.; January 10, 2012 at 10:17 PM
