WIP Review Part 1 | What Stays, What Goes & What Makes the 45 in 45?

It’s time to face the WIPs. 😬😂 I pulled out my cross stitch, knitting, and crochet works-in-progress and started making some decisions about what I actually want to spend my crafting time on—especially with my 45 in 45 Challenge coming up! Every project has to land in one of four piles: ❤️ YES! — I want to work on this during my 45 in 45 📦 NO WAY… for now — I still love it, but it’s going away until after the challenge 🐸 FROG/UFO — I’m just not feeling it anymore, and it may be time to let it go 🤔 MAYBE? — Technically I could work on it…but do I actually want to?! And apparently I have enough WIPs that this turned into a THREE-PART SERIES. 😂 In Part 1, we’re looking at everything from stamped cross stitch and HUGE full-coverage HAEDs to Christmas projects, crochet, knitting, and a few projects that left me seriously questioning my life choices. Some of the WIPs you’ll see include: 🧶 Scrappy Crochet Blanket 🏘️ European Village 🌲 Mini By the Stream – HAED 🏰 Mini Glass Castle – HAED 📚 Mini Traveling Library – HAED 🍎 Apple Orchard 👑 Marie Antoinette 🚂 Christmas Train 🧦 Christmas Truck Stocking ❄️ Christmas Snow Globes 🌿 Winter Wreath 🧶 Golden Hour Shawl And I want YOUR opinion on the Maybe pile! Would you put these projects into the 45 in 45 rotation, save them for later, or admit it’s time to move on? 💕 Stay tuned for WIP Review Part 2 because we have a LOT more projects—and a lot more decisions—to make before I finally know what my 45 in 45 lineup looks like.
