As I mentioned in my introduction, I have made it my goal now to finish at least a majority of my Work in Process or UFOs in 2012.

I have so far finished 2 for the year!!!

Lizzie Kate - Dog's leave pawprints... I just need to find the charm to add to it under the dog house. It is somewhere in the box of WIPs.

Trick or Treat -- this was very late, but instead I will consider it very early for 2012 Halloween. I have a spot I need to iron out of it and I need to iron out and then frame.

I am currently working on another one I have been on for awhile. I am filling in a large section of white and having a tough time just filling in all the same color, motivation seems to be gone. I don't have a photo of the progress now, but I will take one tonight. I do have the progress before I picked it up after the other two and that is below. As you can see, I am filling in the whole controller with white.

The pumpkin is really cute. The Lizzie Kate pic, though, didn't show up for me. Congrats :applesauce:

on finishing 2 projects though. We will be glad to cheer you on as you finish more.

Good luck getting those pesky UFOs out of the way! And remember you'll be happy with them once they're complete, even if they're not giving you the most joy now.

Great work finishing 2 of your WIPs! I wonder if having to stitch on black is the annoying part for the game controller? Sometimes I find doing all one colour soothing since I don't have to keep checking the pattern. You can always put it aside for a bit, stitch on something else and come back to it.

Thanks all for the kind words. I am having a hard time keeping motivated on the xbox controller. I've been promising it to hubby for over a year now so I need to finish it up, but I just can't seem to keep motivated on filing in the white area....

Here is how far I have gotten ...

I am so close, yet so far away....

I think I'm going to have to take a break from it here soon though. I have an anniversary gift to finish by the end of March and a baby gift by mid April and I more or less haven't started either of them. I've kitted the anniversary gift and bought the thread for the baby gift, but not kitted it. I was hoping that I could get this one finished before I jumped to those, but I just don't know.

I find the best time to do that kind of filling in is if I am watching something on tv or a dvd that requires a lot of attention. And switching it with more fun projects of course helps. You are making progress :applesauce:

so you'll get there. Looking forward to seeing your new projects too.

I was thinking this too since it is stitching I really don't have to think about, that it would be good for when my brain isn't focused on stitching, but it just hasn't been going like planned.

You are very close to the end now. That should be some good motivation.!!!!!!

karen4bells · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2012 4:21 pm

you've made really nice progress on the xbox one, and I agree that stitching it while watching tv will make it easier for you to do! Very very nice!! :applesauce:

Good job on your two finishes!! This place is really good for a motivational boost. Great progress on the Xbox controller. Can't wait to see more progress and finishes on your other ufos&wips.

Great work on the Xbox controller, looks like over half done!! Soon, soon...

I like Treat Time. For some reason I have a thing about Hallowe'en stitching, think it's the colours because we don't do anything on the 31st October,I just like the pumpkins,ghosts and witches :roll:

Your games controller is a great design.
