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!)
Wow, Spring Knotgarden is gorgeous, and I like your other projects as well. I'm looking forward to seeing them next month!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty projects. I especially love Bluebeards Princess
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan! I'll try to get back to her soon. Spring Knotgarden was screaming for attention and I couldn't resist :)
DeleteBeautiful projects! Looking forward to seeing your progress!
ReplyDeleteLovely projects! Those Mandalas are so beautiful, I look forward to following your progress on that one!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just posted an update, it's coming along so fast now!
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI'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
DeleteFind 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.
