Time for some planning! I’m excited about the new year and the plans I have. Of course, they are subject to be changed but, for now, I’m looking forward to starting my new rotation and finishing some old projects and move on to the next.
So, for starters, the SALs I’m planning to join are:
1. WIPGO
2. IHSW
3. TUSAL
4. No New Start
5. Daily 30
6. Mill Hill Monday
7. WIPocalypse
With the added:
8. Temperature Stitching
9. Seasonal Stitching
10. Sunday Stitching
11. Full Coverage Weekend
12. Mystery SALs
13. Stitch from Stash (maybe?)
So, as I see, my rotation will be as follows:
- Mondays: Wipgo, Mill Hill Monday, Daily 30, Seasonal, and mystery SAL (5 projects)
- Tuesdays: Wipgo, Daily 30, Seasonal, and mystery SAL (4 projects)
- Wednesdays: Wipgo, Daily 30, Seasonal, and mystery SAL (4 projects)
- Thursdays: Wipgo, Daily 30, Seasonal, and mystery SAL (4 projects)
- Friday: Wipgo, Daily 30, Seasonal, Full coverage and mystery SAL (5 projects)
- Saturdays: Wipgo, Daily 30, Seasonal, Full coverage and mystery SAL (5 projects)
- Sundays: Wipgo, Daily 30, Seasonal, Sunday Stitching, Full coverage and mystery SAL (5 projects)
I added Mystery SALs because I am still working on one from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery which ends in March 2022 (I think). Once this is finished then I will not have any other and will be able to have more time for the rest of the projects.
I added the Sunday Stitching because I want to make some needed progress on Footprints by Bucilla. I want to be able to hang this on my wall already!
I added Full Coverage because it is tradition for me to work on Full Coverage pieces on the weekends as well as seasonal stitching during spring, summer, fall and winter.
Temperature Stitching, there is a beautiful piece by Stitchin’ Mommy which is tracking the temperature of where you live using butterflies patterns. I love butterflies! AND I will be able to track the temperature at my new place.
So, here are the projects that made it to the cut and that I matched to each SAL:
1. For WIPGO this is how my card looks like:
2. For IHSW, I will be stitching on the projects closest to a finish.
3. For TUSAL, well… this is not really a project SAL but more like a “show me your ORTs” SAL
4. No New Start, this is self explanatory. I will not start a new project through out the whole year.
5. Daily 30 project will be Snowman & Friends by Dimensions(which is also part of WIPGO):
6. For Mill Hill Monday, I have Winged Monarch:
7. For WIPocalypse, so far, I have: Coffee Break by Soda Stitch, Air Goddess by Joan Elliott, PHD by Stitchrovia, Needleworker by Little House Needleworks, Home of a Needleworker by Little House Needleworks Too, and Cross Stitch Nation by Heartstring Samplery (all of which are part of WIPGO as well):
8. Temperature Stitching, Temperature Butterflies by Stitching Mommy:
9. Seasonal Stitching, Spring Season by Sandra Cozzolino, Hello Summer by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery, Autumn Band Sampler by Tiny Modernist, and Winter Season by Sandra Cozzolino:
10. Sunday Stitching: Footprints by Bucilla
11. Full Coverage Weekend –
January, February and March: La Niguenta by HAED
April, May and June: Paradise Nature by Thomas Kinkade
July, August and September: The Gamer by Gecko Rouge
October, November and December: Four Seasons by HAED
12. Mystery SAL: Maple Lane by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery
Maple Lane is supposed to be finished early 2022 so my list will start to get shorten quickly. Again, this is not set in stone so I may or may not make changes.
Another activity I wanted to join is Stitch from Stash. But, I like the version from
Stitcher Mel. I will read more about
her rules so that I can write about it and how I will be going about it.
You may be asking yourself what these activities/SALs are. I will be back with an explanation of each one of them and links to where you can find the aforementioned projects.
