I am taking a moment to make this special post for all my cross stitch WIPs at December 31, 2024. While I would love to do this with my quilty projects, with over a 100 WIPs that is just not possible for this year anyway. Maybe next year.

Whew! That was way more work than I was expecting. Glad I only have 21 WIPs. Definitely will NOT be doing this with my quilty wips at all. But it is nice to see that I finished off a lot of old cross stitch WIPs in 2024. I only have 6 not started in 2024. Pretty darn good overall. Very pleased. I plan on knocking out at least 2 of those OLD WIPs in 2025. Enjoy all parade. I will be posting my normal Floss Friday post later.
Ringing in 2025!!
