(This post originally appeared on my Ko-Fi page on January 3, 2025.)
I have decided that, for the time being to get through the giant amount of WIPs that have been languishing in my boxes, bags, and drawers, I am going to make myself finish something before starting something new. Considering we are only 3 days into the new year, it’s going pretty well so far. I’ve finished 2 projects this week.
[A crocheted baby dinosaur with pink belly, stripes, and nostrils, gray back, tail, and limbs, and crocheted eyes with three shades of green in the iris and a white highlight sitting on an upside down tan plastic bucket.]
First is yet another Baby Dinosaur by Complicated Knots in the leftover Loops and Threads Soft Classic from my mom’s birthday present. I swear I will take a break from these and make something else for a while, unless someone wants to order a custom one. This one will be listed in the shop next week.
[A cross stitch of the faces of Garfield and Odie on black Aida fabric.]
The other is this cross stitch of Garfield and Odie by Motoruxin. By searching through my Google photos archive, I clearly started this for StitchMaynia in 2020 (the only time I ever attempted it) and then promptly set it down on June 1 with just the yellows and oranges filled in. So I finished it up over the past couple days, and am ready to fill in the last corner of this sheet (even though I am going to cut them apart and frame them individually).

I’ve just grabbed her Cookie Monster pattern because I realized I didn’t have another small pattern to go there.
For now, I’m going to stick to these weekly update styles instead of trying to write full blog posts for every single thing and then getting behind and getting too overwhelmed with the amount of things I need to finish. Especially since I am intending to finish a lot of projects that are just sitting around with minimal work left to finish them.
