WIPocalypse #1 (2014)

HEY I'M ONLY ONE DAY LATE.  Two?  Whatever, here I am. XD

This month's WIPocalypse topic is:  Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!

Okay!  I'm actually keeping this a bit short as I'm taking part in the Grow Your Blog event, and I'll have a massive post next week with a lot more detail.  So for now, I'm Rahenna!  I've been stitching "seriously" since about 2010, and I've gotten more into it every year since then.  I'm pretty much 100% obsessed now.

Other hobbies and things I like include reading, writing, cooking (and eating!), collecting Pokemon stuff, online TCGs, Morrowind, Castlevania, Sailor Moon, nail polish, Kojima Ayami artwork, anime/manga trading cards, Doctor Who, etc etc etc.  Born and raised a nerd by nerd parents... I'm named after the Bionic Woman, and my sister is named after one of the old school Doctor's companions. :)

As for my projects, I unfortunately have ten WIPs at the moment, which makes me a little nervous.  I like to keep it to single digits!  Of those, three are my main focus, three are semi-active (aka I work on them if I get tired of my focus projects), and four are getting into UFO land. :(

The three focus projects are...

Bluebeard's Princess (Mirabilia)

Floral Fifteen (Just Nan)

Spring Knotgarden (Chatelaine)

I don't want to overload this post with pictures, but if you check my sidebar, you can see the full list of ten projects and find the tags for each one. :)  Well, except for Night, which has such a small amount done on it, I didn't even bother taking a picture yet.  Blah!

These are my (crazy) goals for this year:
Rahenna's 2014 goals!

The three projects shown above will be my main focus until I knock one or two of them out.  Or until I go crazy and start something new.  Bahahaha!

Well, that's me in a nutshell. (Get me out of this nutshell!)

  5. I love the Mirabilia! It's so pretty. I also love the geek list! (If only you had added D&D to endear yourself more to me.) I also adore manga/anime artwork and many other things on your list!

    1. I've always wanted to play D&D, but there were never any opportunities when I was younger. I wish I knew how to find a group that would welcome a pair of old newbies. :D

    2. Find a local gaming (or comic) store and try to see if they have a night where they test D&D Next. Also, query geeky friends. My husband and I are desperately trying to find people to play with us, but our fellow geeks don't play or we're afraid we'll weird people out if we talk about D&D.
