March WIPocalypse update

I'm a day late this month.  It was a busy weekend, so I didn't have time to post.

(You can find my WIPcalypse goals here.)

Here is my progress for this month:
Monarch kit by Bucilla (don't get me started on how much I hate Bucilla kits!)
I started this last year, but laid it aside until recently.
This was my starting point on Feb. 28:















And this is where I am currently:











I also stitched another Christmas ornament.  This is for my son.  He loves Adventure Time, so I made a Gunter ornament for him.









March 16 – Topic:  Show us your favorite places to stitch.

Here is my stitching spot.  It's a very old Lazy Boy recliner (about 15 years old).  It's well worn loved, and so comfy that I hate to buy a new one.  

You can see my armchair stitching caddy on the left side. My daughter made it for  me (she's 13) with a little help from my mom . It holds my pattern, thread, highlighters, and ort jar.  It's perfect it and I love it. :)  

The "clothesline" on the wall holds all of my finished pieces that I haven't framed yet.  There are also a few gifts from my daughter on it too.

You can't see it in the picture, but there is a small table on the left.  I keep my laptop there.  I usually watch Netflix on it while I'm stitching.  When I'm not watching Netflix I like to listen to my radio.  There's also a basket full of more stitching supplies on the left, but it is super messy at the moment so I chose not to add it to the picture.  ;)















Here is a close-up of my armchair caddy.  You can't see, but there's also one long pocket on the other side.
You can find lots of patterns to make your own  if you do a quick google search.

  1. Great progress on the butterfly kit. I like your clothesline idea for the untamed finishes.

  2. Great stitching nest - what a wonderful idea to display your stitching while waiting for it to get framed!

  3. The butterflies are beautiful! And now I'm worried, I recently bought a small Bucilla kit but I didn't remember anything being bad about them!

  4. Sorry if this is a duplicate comment. My first one disappeared!

    You really got a lot done on the butterfly! It will look beautiful when you finish.

    The armchair caddy is wonderful! Every stitcher should have one. I hope to get a recliner to stitch in some day. Yours looks very comfy. I love your clothesline idea and might just have to steal it!

    I found your blog through the WIPocalypse check-in page and now I'm a new follower.
