Hi everyone, happy New year.
I hope you all had an amazing new year and we’re able to celebrate it the way you want. Whether that was out drinking with friends or like me working the day and then coming home and stitching.
So as lots of you know I am in No New Starts, which the Facebook group is now called WIP Warriors. So when you do No New Starts they allow you to start new projects again from December 12th to the end of December, but you have to get in 200 stitches or 2 hours of stitching to call in a WIP to be in your WIP pile when the new year starts
So here are all the new starts I started in December:

So I guess I haven’t talked about this cause it is a bit personal and even though I’m fine with sharing it I know maybe not everyone wants to read personal things. I will make this quick though. So basically I wanted to do this pattern to commemorate my surgery that I had in October, have my fallopian tubes removed. So I know the picture has them so I am going to move the flowers a little and then not stitch the fallopian tubes. I am also when it’s finished going to get it framed with my hospital bracelet.

This piece I actually found on Amazon. Since I use my mom’s Amazon account she saw me add that to the cart and then next thing I know she had got it for me and she was texting me saying my kit arrived for me. Such a nice surprise gift. I am not using the fabric that it came with because I really don’t love stitching on 14 count Aida. So even though the threads it came with are wool I am stitching this on 32 count fabric, so it will look very puffed up.

This pattern I have actually had for a few years now so I am very happy to be starting this piece. I have an idea for fully finishing this with my other little smalls that I have finished already so to match around the same size I am stitching this on a 40 count.

So this piece is actually stitched on a plastic canvas bag using pearl cotton thread. This will be a gift to my mom. And since it actually stitched quite fast I think I might get it done for Mother’s Day.

If many of you have been reading you know that I had stitched a stocking for our cat Midnight, well now that we have a dog I knew she needed a stocking too. Eventually I will stitch one for Jaden and I.

Well I finally started the last of my birds of the month series. Now all I have to do is get them finished and then I’ll have the whole series done. Can’t wait for that. I had first started the series back in 2019. Can’t believe that it has taken this many years to get them all started and finished.

Well I am finally doing another Christmas ornament. This actually belongs to a series where I have already finished one of them like maybe two or three years ago and with a sale from 123Stitch.com I decided it was time I got the rest of the three charts. I only started one though.

And last new start has to be a gift for my husband. I did the R2-D2 and this is the companion piece.
Well that’s all my new starts! I now have 20 WIP’s and can’t believe that, I’ve never had that many before.
I hope everyone is having a great first month into the new year.
Happy stitching everyone! ❤️
