Sorry this is late again!
This month I have worked on...absolutely nothing that was on my WIPocalypse list...ooops!
However, I can tell you all about my oldest and newest WIP's. That's easy!
My oldest is most likely to be a gorgeous Cat's Alphabet sampler by Janlynn. I started this in or around 2003. It was my first ever purchase on discovering Hobbycraft. I didn't know as much back then as I do now and two of the things I didn't know was that the oils from the scroll frame could mark the fabric and that I shouldn't really leave the fabric in sunlight for any length of time. Do you think you can guess how I learnt both of these? Yep it was hard to tell which one had done the most damage to the fabric, sun fade or oil marking. Strangely enough I was toying with the idea of getting a new bit of fabric to start this again as even after all this time, I still love the design. I would however, stitch it on evenweave instead of aida this time.

My newest WIP is definitely Bothy Threads Haberdasher's which I am loving. I posted a photo of progress in my last post, but don't mind boring you with it again!
There's not much to say about it except I am loving it!!

Love the Cat alphabet. Nice wip.
The Cat Alphabet is a great design, how much have you actually stitched so far?
Of course I love both projects Sharon. You really should stitch the cat alphabet.

The cat alphabet is really sweet! Did you stitch a lot initially? It would be nice to start it again on a new piece of fabric :)
