Same, I have been terrible with removing to comment with so many videos. I will be mixing Karlas themes with magazine monthly challenges…. I think LOL
Thank you for sharing your plans! They all look so wonderful. I have the same Ireland pattern that I plan to make for a friend who is from Ireland and misses her home! I haven't seen it show up on anyone else's channel so that was a nice surprise!
I am in love with the 2 full coverage picks!! Great ideas for the year, Laura.
Great plans, Laura. I went to WIP warriors and joined. It seemed very confusing to me. Even the least structured one. I decided it’s not for me at this time. I’m going to do the 25/7 for sure on my larger wips. Other then that I’m just making lists of projects and I got one of the Day Planners to keep a daily or at least monthly track. That will help me I know. Happy Stitching till next time!
Hi Laura, my birthday is in October also. Would love the link or information on the Owl Forest Autumn Still Life.
Hi Laura, exciting projects! I love the wizard of oz. I love the bottom of it, with the witch’s feet. Where dod you get the Ireland pattern ? My brother in law is from Cork and would love to stitch it for my sister and brother-in-law. Can’t wait to see the choices if fabrics you cone up with fir your projects. Happy stitching!
I love all the things you have picked, especially the Wizard of Oz. I’m gonna go look at that pattern right now.
I often wonder if I would do well joining a group, but I haven't seen one I want to do yet. Maybe eventually. I'm interested in seeing how it works out for you.
Hi Laura!
Any tips for browsing the HAED website? I would love to start my first full coverage piece, but anytime I try to browse the HAED site, I get lost in a sea of options! Do you tend to search by artist/theme/something else? Any tips would be so appreciated!! 😊😊
I have plans, but I've not yet put up my video yet, that will be after christmas, but before new year. heh.
loved hearing yours!
Well….I have not stitched full coverage in years but I like your idea that it isn’t about having to finish. I will keep thinking. Thanks for another fun video.
Hi Laura! I have decided to participate in wipgo but using categories, mostly. That will give me some flexibility in terms of what I stitch but also the opportunity to make some progress. I do have three stitchy gifts to finish this year, too so maybe I will use 25/7 to get those done. I will check out Judy’s group because I quite enjoy her videos. I love your project choices and will watch this video again to take some notes. Thanks for this! 🎄🙂
Hi Laura, your plans sound like a lot of fun and stitching. I did WIPGO this year. 10 hours on each of the numbers called and finish it. I fond it a lot I of fun. My board for 2023 is almost done. Thanks again for your videos. Have a good week!😊🪡🎄
I think I want to try wip warrior. I’m trying for the group. I did Wipgo this last year to try to work on my whips. It worked pretty good until I got pregnant and sick so we will see how it works for the next year but maybe with warriors it will help even more I am starting one project, which is my temperature quaker from Stitchin mommy I need to get what I have done so hopefully that will still be allowed.
Great plans! I’m still trying to decide. I will be a little more fluid this year.
Fun projects you have planned. I have that seagull pattern and my birthday is in August, so maybe I will start that for my birthday. Happy Crafting.
Hi Laura! I was thinking about doing the Cottage Garden Samplers Summer at the Seashore pattern next year myself. Great designer.
So many fun plans. Love that jewel dragon piece and of course I love the gnome. Brringo is so much fun. It’s fun setting the projects and as you say if you miss a day it doesn’t matter. I’ve done 4 out of the 6 Gnomeville. It is fun. I’ve started the twisted band sampler in just x. Lovely design. I saw that challenge in the wip warriors. New to the group too. Think it’s just prompts. Was thinking of doing the 23 one but listening to you I think the SWYWWYW would be more suitable. Having had COVID recently my plans are to have 2 focus pieces and then just see.
So many lovely projects that you have in store for 2023! I enjoyed seeing them all. I have two plans: first is to continue with Autumn Lane Stitchery’s Dark Queen of the Earth SAL, which is scheduled to finish in Sept 2023. Second is a new start that I have kitted up to start next week on my winter break! Happy stitching.
For Wonderland Ukraine chart Winter, How about a creamy buttery yellow? Or a pale, but pure purple. I have so many charts from VladaXStitch, too. Perhaps I will start my Scotland one…..hmmmm.
Hi Laura. I took a break from CrossStitch for almost 20 years. When I came back so many things have changed. I really enjoy watching your videos, and I like your idea of for plans for 2023. I’m usually a monogamous teacher, but I’m going to try to ease in to multiple WIPS
So many beautiful projects. So many charts so little time…
I stitch to slow, so I’d have to stitch 1 hour instead of 25 mins to see any progress
Well done Laura on all your progresses! I'll have to try the 25/7 thing. I am a SWIWWIW stitcher as well, but have to make sure my Month 2 Month (Stitching with the Housewives) is always done by the following month so I can display it 🙂 When I watch you be so happy with your stitching, it encourages me to stitch stitch stitch 🥰
I love to plan. I don’t usually post too much but I do 24HOCS acrostic every month and I like to do Brrrringo too. I think I like the structure of challenges as I don’t always know what to work on!
Like some of your "possible" new starts for 2023. Your approach to stitching is great; sane and relaxed with no "must dos." Take care and have a Blessed Christmas!
