#haedsal2024 #haedteammerryyellow

Hello everyone it’s Jamie and welcome back to my channel and welcome to my first update video for 2024 this video is going to be kind of longer because at the end of December I decided that I wanted to work on any whip that hadn’t been worked on during

Flossmas and so there was six projects that I hadn’t worked on during flossmas and my goal was to try and do at least 500 stitches on each of those projects so one of them got more a lot more one of them got less which I will explain

Why when I get to that project but there will be six whips that took me to the end of the year that I worked on and then I had a new start at the end of the year and then I have worked on other projects in January for my yearly goals

Which I will talk about my plans for January towards the end of the video so to start with the first project that I will be showing and if I look down I have a notebook here that has all my projects that I worked on just so I can

Keep track of them all the first one that I will show is walking in the rain I am stitching the large cro version and this chart is from artisy and I will be inserting pictures of everything what it will look like finished and where it was

Before I started stitching on it so all that will be inserted without me you know saying it every single time and here’s where I got to on this chart I got 527 stitches put into this chart and I focused on filling in more of the top row because when I started stitching on

This originally I was working over in the left corner just stitching down the chart CU I wanted to get to the lantern things here and then I decided last year that I wanted to stitch to the right corner of the chart and so I did that

And then I’ve been focusing when I pull it out on filling in more of this top row and then I can start stitching down the project because I realize I like to have stitched over and then start stitching down and I am stitching this

On a 25 Count 2 over one t Stitch which is a half cross um I’ve seen some talk about like half cross versus continental and basket weave stitching and when you’re stitching a full coverage project like that it’s really hard to keep track of like which one you’re doing you’re not like because

There’s so much confetti there’s not really a way to stick to one of those methods so sometimes I’m doing a half cross sometimes I end up doing Continental if I’m going back and forth and doing a row and then going back I’ll do a half cross row and then I’ll do a

Row of Continental which um the difference is how they look on the back so if you are doing just a half cross the back is going to have straight lines on it if you are doing Continental Stitch the back is is going to have diagonal lines

On the back of the the stitching but yeah when you’re doing uh full coverage you can’t really keep track like I’ll show you the back the back of this project is a mess because there’s so much confetti there’s so many colors that are used in it but I’ve just seen people liked

Talking recently about different methods of tent Stitch but yeah when you’re doing full coverage it’s really hard to stick to one or keep track CU you’re just stitching all over anyways so that was the first project I worked on I got 527 stitches and there was some days

That I was able to work on two projects so I worked on this project the same day I was able to switch to my next project because I still had some stitching time left in the day and so then I started working on Templar prophecy which is by

Long dog sampler and this project has been like severely neglected um I started it I don’t even remember when I started it I have notion over here but I don’t know how long it will take me to find the project I actually filled out notion uh at the end of the year there

I’ll explain what it is first so it’s by stitchy Natty it’s a cross stitch template that you purchase and then you can put in all your stuff and then it like calculates things for you so you put in your project you put in the designer you can put in your fabric so

It keeps track of all the stuff you know that goes with the project and then you can also put in when you started the project you can put in the amount of stitches that you have already done on the project so where the project is

Starting at cuz a lot of of these you know all my whips have been going for a while and then as you stitch on it there is a little calendar where you can put in the project how many stitches you did per day and then it will add that to

Your project so then it’s keeping track of how many stitches you’ve done so far for the year how many stitches you’ve done in the month and so it just adds everything for you because I don’t want to add things myself and this does it all for me and it was kind of

Complicated for me to set it up I originally was going to try do like a video setting it up but I ended up not doing it because I waited until like the very last minute to do this to set it up I wanted it ready for January 1st so

That once I started the year I would be able to just start fresh in notion and be able to put in how many stitches I’ve done on projects you know every day and have it add it for me and so like it was like December 30th and I was trying to

Get all my projects in which I have 30 how many many projects do I have now I have 33 projects currently wait no 32 because one of those is technically empty because I’m allowing myself a new start on my whip go board so one of them is empty there’s an empty

Space on my list um but yeah I have 32 projects and I had to put all of them in put in the date of when I started it which I’m terrible at keeping track of dates and then get it all done and all my kids were home cuz it was still um

Christmas break or winter break and so yeah putting everything in it took a minute figuring out some of the stuff like took a while but I got it done and so now I’m using it uh anyway so Templar prophecy is one that I started in 2019 that means it’s probably one of my

Oldest whips currently because I have some that were technically older but I restarted them so when I restart a whip I don’t use the old start by day I use the one of when I restarted it so yeah it’s one of my oldest whips I don’t

Stitch on it very much because I sampler myself out or something but here is where it got to when I worked on it I did 500 stitches and like as soon as I hit 500 I quit working on it and I will say that I’m enjoying it more now

Because I originally started it using the paper pattern but I put the PDF into pattern keeper and I have been stitching it using pattern keeper instead and it’s going a little bit better I enjoy that a lot more especially because this area here is very very Stitch heavy and on

The paper pattern it’s really hard to see the 10×10 grid lines but in pattern keeper they show up better so it’s going to be easier to count this big section that’s going to have really long lines of stitching and this is the area that I was focusing on so this is page two

Going into page three and that’s the other thing that I like about pattern keeper is the pattern keeper it puts everything together and so before when you’re stitching across Pages you have to have both Pages out and you’re kind of fumbling with them trying to get the overlapped section right pattern keeper

It’s all together and so was much easier to fill in this section here without having to Fumble with pages I am stitching this on a fabric that I dyed myself dying this fabric was kind of a pain in the butt because to get it so

Dark I had to do it multiple times and I also had to add a ton of dye compared to what they recommend to use and then I also mixed blue in with the black to try and make it less purpley gray because Rit dye black is kind of like a purple

Based black and so it can kind of go purple or gray depending on like how diluted it is so I added some blue navy blue I think it was to try and make it a darker color yeah and then I’m using a DMC 666 which is a great like vibrant

Red and did I say this is 22 count and I’m doing it one over one full cross so there’s all the information for that and then the next project I will show is one I’m trying to figure out where to put these because these projects need to be put away cuz I’m not

Going to be working on them anymore but then I have some projects that I need to keep out so I’m going to try and keep things somewhat organized as I go through this the next project is Pokemon switch which is by Glitch Stitch Au on Etsy I love love love the charts from

Glitch Stitch Au and well I’m trying to move the needle out of the way this got worked on a couple times I worked on it once at the end of December and then I have been working on it recently so here is where it is in December I focused on filling in

The joy con because this is supposed to be a switch and then it’s supposed to have the Pokemon starters on it so these are the starters from Pokemon Violet and Scarlet there is I’m trying to remember their names I know there’s Foy Coco spatio and I think quax

Ley I think uh anyways I was filling in the joyc con here when I worked on it in December and then um the joyc con is not the charted colors though the charted joycon colors are red and blue mine are the Animal Crossing joy-cons on my

Switch that I have so I switch the colors and then I have been working on this in the car dur during my car stitching when I pick up my kids because I want to finish this chart this year and I’ve been working on the brown and the reason why is because because I

Switch the colors I don’t have these colors with the chart I only have them in like my full set of DMZ and so I remember the first day I went to stitch on this I was going to stitch on the the joy-con that was my plan and then I get

In the car and I’m like I don’t have this color with me and so I started working on the brown so I do want to go back and finish the joyc con and get that done but like I said I need to get the DMC color for this out of my stash

And then I can you know work on that but yeah so that’s why I didn’t work on that and it was so disappointing though because I got in the car I’m all ready to do it and then I realized I don’t have the color and then I also had

Issues where um this pattern is in pattern keeper I normally use pattern keeper on a laptop but I also have it on my phone because my phone is an Android phone and when I exported the PDF I did not realize that you this was a chart

Where you had to input the color numbers yourself the symbols like didn’t have the colors assigned and so then I get in the card go to stitch and then I realize that I’m going to have to put in all the colors myself or you can just leave them

Gray but that’s not fun to look at and so I ended up spending some of my car stitching time putting in the symbol numbers and so this project when I worked on in December it got 526 stitches and then it’s gotten another like 200ish stitches since I’ve started working on it in the

Car which like I said this is going to be hopefully a finish this year hopefully and my plan for this one on trying to get it finished is to work on it in the car for car stitching and obviously I have the rest of this school

Year which my kids get out of school in the middle of June and then school will start again next year at usually it’s the end of August or beginning of September seber it depends like on when Labor Day is because we always start the Thursday before Labor Day so that’s the

Plan on trying to get this one finished and this is being stitched on an 18c count fabric two over one full cross all right the next project that I will be showing is one that got more stitches because I could not stop on it and that

Is the chart myera Sol which is charted by nin Thomas and I will show you why I could not stop I was working on her face so I have wanted to get her face done for a while because I like to see how the face is

Going to turn out on things because if the face isn’t going to be good then I would just stop working on it so I kind of want to know early on what what I’m going to think of it and so I started her face and I did I can’t remember how

Many stitches it was like 700 Stitches the first day that I worked on it and all that I had done was like some of like the just her skin I hadn’t done any of like the the nose or her lips or eyes or anything and so the next day I was

Like do I want to switch or do I want to keep going and I was like I got to keep going and so I ended up doing another 700 stitches to get more of her facial features in and I’m fairly certain that her eyes and lips are completely

Finished and I think she turned out pretty good so I just had to fix the focus on my phone real quick so yeah I think it turned out fairly good especially when you consider the fact that her face is really like the focus her dress is really the focus in this

Piece like I’ll have the picture inserted and I mean that’s the big thing in this she has a big giant pretty dress so I am happy with it with the detail because it’s a pretty small face compared to like Autumn Harmony which is a giant face and this is being stitched

On it’s either a 27 count Linda or a 28 Count 2 over one t Stitch so there she is and I am very happy with the fact that I got her face done and now now I know how she’s going to look so the next piece that I worked on is

The piece that I would like to get finished this year um and it is tonightly Ride by Autumn Lane Stitchery I did I think 500 stitches I only wrote down 251 but I think I ended up working on it two days so I worked on it one day

For 251 and then I think I did another day of another like 250 before I put it away and here is what I worked done so I was working on the witch here I finished outlining at first because I wanted to do the outline because there’s lots of

Rows of black that are very long and so I figured it would be easier to outline it and then I could just fill this in without looking at the chart anymore so I did the outline and then I also did some of the fill in on this chart and

Yeah she’s huge she’s going to be a giant Witch uh this is being stitched on this is Halloween fabric from witch’s Garden crafts on Etsy and it’s a 16c count 2 over one full cross and here is what I have done so far I started this last year and I

Started it in the Middle with the house worked up to the Moon did this and then I went to this witch here and then after I finish this witch my plan is to eventually go over to the other side do the other witch and then I’ll go down

And Stitch like the houses and kind of like the fun areas so where did I put the there it is okay the next chart that I have to show is the last of what I worked on in December for like finishing working on all my whips and it is Lord

Of the Rings by Glitch Stitch Au and so my plan was I was going to work on this for New Year’s Eve because I originally started this chart for New Year’s Eve slne year star of 2022 going into 2023 so that was my plan you’re going to do

That and then the ha cell came out earlier so if you don’t know Heaven and Earth is is doing a stitch along it’s too late to join right now and I had signed up for it they originally had said the chart was going to come out

January 1st so I was like it’s perfect I will stitch on the Lord of the Rings chart for New Year’s Eve then I’ll will be ready on the first to stitch on the ha Stitch along I woke I woke up on New Year’s Eve check my email there’s the Heaven

And Earth chart they had sent it early which was a lovely surprise but then I was like I really wanted to stitch on the Lord the ring CH but then I was also like I want to start the uh Heaven and Earth Stitch along so I ended up only

Doing 200 no where I didn’t even write it down I think I only did like 200 stitches it did not get the full 500 because I was like I just want to start this new chart so I will show what I got done I am stitching this one with all

The black first hopefully if I can stick with it because sometimes black gets it’s so boring and I was just I don’t even remember exactly where I worked I was filling in this area possibly and I’m stitching this on a 22c count one over one full cross and that’s

All I did because I was like I want to do the Heaven and Earth Stitch along I I wanted my new start and it was just fun because like seeing everyone was like all excited about getting it early and then seeing people starting it you you

Just want to join in real bad and so I I did we are now currently at what I have worked on in four January technically the Heaven and Earth Stitch along started on December 31st instead of January but it’s fine so now we’re into what I worked on that so let

Me find the Stitch along first to show that so the Stitch along if you weren’t aware I had talked about it in my previous video which was my flossmas finale video and so you join the Stitch along there are 10 different charts I picked did I write it down Mary mushroom

Village picnic number three so there are are three mushroom charts there’s red mushroom I think they call the other one a purple mushroom but it’s kind of rainbowy and then the one I’m doing is a yellow mushroom so if you have trouble remembering and then the one I’m doing

Also has a fairy so that’s kind of the way I remember it is like it’s the mushroom fairy um and so I got my start on that and the way it works is if you finish four pages of the chart you get all other all the other Stitch long

Charts at the end of the year if you finish the entire thing you get to pick two charts from the heaven and earth website so I at least want to finish four pages because I really want the other mushroom charts really bad the red mushroom I’ve seen people stitching it

It’s amazing I love the mushroom charts they’re like fantasy little mushrooms it’s it’s cute um so I really would like to at least get four pages finished like a stretch goal is I would really like to be able to get those two free charts like you know and so if you

Do I think it’s 166 stitches a day it will be finished by the end of the year and so that is what I have been doing now the first day I worked on it I did a lot more though so on December 31st I did like 1,500 stitches so that puts me

Ahead already and then every day since then I have been doing at least 166 stitches so that I am trying to keep up with it so that I can get at least the four pages and possibly the whole thing finished and yeah so here is my start on Mary mushroom Village picnic number

Three which this is artwork from an Amy Stewart chart that is called Mary mushroom Village picnic I am stitching this on a 28 count to over one t Stitch because you know 10 Stitch is slightly quicker than um full cross and 10 Stitch is just my or 28

Count is just my preferred fabric so I’m really loving this because because it’s such a small chart I think the whole thing is 12 Pages you already get to stitch like fun things right away so you have like I think this is Wings here there’s like a little blue mushroom and

Then right over here or I have parked some purple threads here that is going to be the start of a cupcake and it’s so cute because other people have already stitched it there are some people one person is already finished with the full three pages that came out which is

22,000 stitches someone already finished 22,000 stitches um and they were doing I think the dragon chart there’s a rainbow dragon that’s Sheena Pike chart and someone already finished their first three pages I have seen someone else who is stitching this chart who has already done like 6,000 or 7,000 stitches and so

It’s just it’s just fun to see how how like people are stitching it because everyone is stitching in like different ways you have people who are parking and stitching like block by block you have people who are stitching it in columns and some people are stitching extreme

Cross country by color and so it’s just fun to see how people are tackling it in their different stitches methods so I am not really sticking to a method I’ve just kind of been picking a color from the top and then stitching it until I run out and then I have been parking

Colors at the bottom because this is the bottom of the first row that we got and I don’t want to have a harsh line like a straight across line at the bottom because I worry about getting page lines and so I have been parking threads down here and not finishing this bottom row

So I will finish the bottom row here when the next set of pages come out which is I think April 1st is when we get the next set of pages and the next sets of pages are going to be smaller because this whole chart is 61,000 stitches and

The first set of pages we got was 22,000 stitches so we’ve already got like a large chunk of the chart already and then I think there’s going to be a lot of like partial pages on the side and then on the bottom so the next releases will hopefully be a little bit smaller

So there is that and then the next thing that I will show is Autumn Harmony I have been trying to work on her every day since January started and that is how I’m trying to tackle this goal because for Autumn Harmony I want to do 60,000

Stitches on her this year and so my plan is if I do I think it’s 160 something stitches on her every day then I will be able to get 60,000 stitches done on her this year so let me move the needle minder the area I’m stitching right now

Is kind of boring so here is where I am stitching on her uh this is her arm right here and I didn’t really want to stitch a bunch on her arm because the arm is kind of you know boring it’s pale colors and I wanted to reach the bottom of the chart

So I started stitching down her arm here and then this is where her arm ends and then you get back into like the colorful background behind her so that was fun to get back to like the Reds and oranges that are going to be in this section and

Then this is the bottom of the chart so I was excited to reach the bottom and now I think I’m going to fill in a little a little bit more of this bottom section and then I am going to go back up to the top and then start working

More top down so this is what I worked on the last time and then here is I’m going to try and go back to show her that’s going to be hard though yeah she’s big like when you see so here’s the top of her and

Then the bottom is way down here she is going to be gigantic I think this was a 30 by 36 in piece of Fabric and she’s basically taking up you know most of it so she’s big and this is 18c Count 2 over one full

Cross and so yeah you’ll be seeing her a lot this year with the Mary mushroom these are going to be two kind of like focusyoutube Okay I found both of them the first one I will show is one of my whip go pieces so whip go if you don’t know is by Jesse Marie does stuff there are videos on her channel that explain it more and you make a whip go board with 24 projects

Plus a free space or you can do 25 projects which I did 24 projects plus a space for a new start and the numbers called for January were 9 and 22 anytime my numbers are called I want to do a th000 stitches on the chart and so I

Decided I would do one of the pieces at the beginning of the month and then I will do the second piece that was called towards like the middle end of the month and that way I’m kind of spacing them out a little bit and so the first one I

Worked on was mini masquerade pale Dawn which is by Heaven and Earth designs and here is where I am this fabric is there we go here’s where I am I reached the bottom of page one here I mean I reached a while ago but I was

Like filling in this section and so page one is really close to being done now because this is The Edge this is the bottom so it’s really close to being finished and I thought about continuing on with it but I want to reach my January goals before I go back and add

Extra stitches into anything else because I have a whole thing and notion of January goals and what I need to do to stay on track for my yearlong goals which I will talk about uh later after this but yeah so the bottom of the page all that’s left is like if you look

There’s like just some blank spots there and it’s so close to being done so I was excited to have almost a page finished and this is being stitched on a 28 count fabric that I dyed myself and I am stitching it two over one tent Stitch

And I finally got these um things here to keep track of my parked threads I think these are called like bobies I will grab them I got like a giant set of them on Amazon it was like 32 or something but I did not see the size that I wanted in a

Different count so that’s what these are and then they just go like this you pop them up and then you can wrap your floss around it when you’re parking threads and then you just snap it closed and then it holds them so they won’t be falling everywhere I clearly need to add

Them to a lot more of my charts because when I was holding things up today there was floss flying everywhere but yeah my plan is to start using these and then keep track of my parked threads a little bit better because right now they are a mess a lot of the time so

Um the last chart that I will be showing is k k is artwork by Hannah Alexander charted by um pinky the pink which I will link her website in the description box below I think her website is called make itp.net and that’s where you can find her charts and this is another

Chart that you’ll be seeing throughout the year a lot because I plan on working on her every single month to try and reach my yearly goal which is to finish her so here is where I got to on K which if you don’t know K is from the Disney

Movie Atlantis and I’ve just been working on the blues on this side of her dress so on the other side here I’ve already taken this color down to the bottom or like this side this little section of her dress down to the bottom and so I’m doing the same thing on this

Other side here and then I will go back and do fill in later and I was also surprised because I thought that this was like the bottom of where the chart would be it’s not this middle section actually goes down farther it goes down another like 30 rows so it’s going to go

Down even farther and she’s already a very large lady so here is her top face and when you hold the whole thing up she’s already very long and now she goes down even longer so that’s G to be exciting to see how big she’s going to be this is being

Stitched on a 28c count fabric two over two full cross and I dyed it myself using Rit dye in the color eggplant I think cuz I love purples a lot so I’ve used this eggplant dye on so many different Fabrics because I love just purples and sometimes I’ll mix it with

Things like I’ll mix it with a little blue mix it with a little bit of pink or something to make it you know different shades but I love purple will die so that is everything that I have worked on so far since my last video next what

I’m going to do is put away all of my projects and then I have a new bin so I replaced the blue bin the blue bin is now in a storage Cube cubby Cube thing I replaced it with this so I have a new bin because the blue one did not hold

Project bags very well hold on let me see if I can find a project bag so the the bin I previously had the bags would stick out the top because it wasn’t like wide enough to hold them this bin holds them very nicely it’s going to look a

Little bit better next to my area so my plan is I’m going to go get out everything that I’m plan on working on for this month and then I will be going through it and talking about my goals for everything for the month because I

Have calculated how much I need to do on each project to finish it by the time I want to finish things so yeah we’ll get into that in a minute so I’ll be right back you’ll see it in like two seconds I am back with my bin of the projects

That I plan on working on for January and I will say that the projects in this bin are going to stay the same for most of the year the only projects that are really going to change are the whip go pieces that are called those will be two

Projects that switch out but a lot of these projects will be in this bin until they are either finished or the goal for the year is met on them because that’s how I kind of did my goals this year things were either put into whip go if

They were not a focused piece piece they were given a finish like finish by a certain date which I will talk about the days that I plan on finishing things or the months that I want things finished or they were given like a stitch count goal so Autumn Harmony got 60,000 little

Gamer got 30,000 and then there’s a different chart which one the 12 movie nights of Christmas I want to do 3,000 but that won’t be coming out until the end of the year because I would like to do those goal the goal for that towards Christmas time plus I will hopefully

Have some of my things finished from here so then that will kind of go into some of the spots that’s been used for these projects so I made a list on notion which I will show my little task list of what I want to do in a month to

Try and get things finished by the time that I want them finished so uh for example I I’ll show the picture of the list so it has my whip go pieces on the top and 1 th000 stitches and then you can keep track um I have my list linked to my January

Stitching so I can search and then see how many stitches I’ve done on something so like I can search for mini masquerade pill Dawn and it will tell me exactly how many stitches I’ve done on it because I put all the numbers in for the

Days that I stitch on it and then um for K which here’s K my goal for K is I want to have the cross stitching done on her by in October and so I took how many stitches stitches I have left on her using pattern keeper because all of my

Projects right now are in pattern keeper which I am hoping that I can continue using you know not having to use paper charts for anything because then I have to count things myself but yeah so all the numbers I’m able to get because I use pattern keeper um for k i divided up

The amount of stitches left by what is that 10 months and so it told me I need to do 1,800 stitches on her every month to have her finished in October and then that leaves me November and December to do back stitching and Beads because she has a lot of back

Stitching and a lot of beating that needs to be done so that is what I plan on doing for her for Autumn Harmony my plan is to do daily stitching on her which I have to do 164 stitches daily on her which ends up being 5,084 stitches per month

So if there’s times where I get behind I can just look at how many stitches on her have I done this month and that will tell me if I’m on track or if I need to start doing more so then for the ha Stitch along I need to do

5,145 stitches on her per month or on the fairy per month I don’t even know where did I put that but for the ha Stitch long 5,145 stitches will get it finished in December because I took the total amount of stitches in the chart divided it by 12 and then I used that

Number I would like to finish tonight we Ride this year for the chart tonight we ride which is by autom Lane Stitchery which I I showed earlier in the video I would like to have it finished this year which was my goal and I decided that I wanted to try and finish it in I think

August was what I had set and that would give me September to get it framed somehow or finish it somehow and then I could have it up for October for Halloween so tonight we ride and with the amount of stitches I have left I need to do 1,400 stitches on it per

Month and that will get it finished in August which is my goal and then um this chart here is festive Cottage festive frosted pumpkin Cottage is I think the name from witchie Stitcher I want to get this chart finished this year and so I need to do um 528 stitches

A month and that will also get this one finished in August which then leaves me September to get it framed or finished and then I can have it up for the holiday season this year and then the last one that I have not talked about or there’s two technically

So the last one that’s going to be worked on like every month is little gamer which is by gecko Rouge this chart is no longer available unfortunately because Medusa Dollmaker um is on Etsy now so this chart is not on there yet hopefully it will be but Medusa Dollmaker now does

Their own charting so it’s not available through gecko Rouge anymore and I want to do 30,000 Stitch on this chart and I calculated that if I do 2,500 stitches on it every month then I will reach that goal and so I’ve tried to break down some of my bigger goals into like

Smaller little monthly chunks and then that way I can keep on track of things because sometimes you just keep pushing things to the side and you don’t do it like little gamer I haven’t touched it yet this month and I hadn’t even calculated anything about it until like

Just like the other day I was like I need to figure things out better because I could just imagine myself getting getting to the end of the year and then being like Oh I was wanting to do 30,000 stitches on it and now there’s not time

So I’m trying to like think ahead of how can I break these things down and have them finished when I want to and then also not like forget to work on other projects because like last year when I finished the stardew valley charts I would pretty much Stitch only on those

Charts and I wasn’t getting work done on other things and this way I’m kind of rotating through multiple things which gives me you know a variety of things to work on and reach goals at the same time and then the last thing that I will be

Working on though in January this is one of my whip go pieces so will only be worked on this month and that is heaven on Earth 2 from charting creations and I will show where I am on it right now and because it’s a whip go

Piece I will only be doing a th stitches which is kind of sad but it’s better than the nothing that it could possibly get if I didn’t use a whip go so uh I’ll be doing that probably later in the month though because I was working on Mini Mas grade Pon already

And now I need to work on some of these other projects that haven’t been touched yet cuz I still have not worked on a lot of these things so that is what I’ll be working on for January um I will like I said I inserted

My my thing on Notions of my task list and I really like the fact that you can like check things off when they’re done because I already got to do that for many masquerade Pon I love checking things off it’s just very satisfying so I am looking forward to I think the next

Project I will meet the goal for is K I wanted to do 1,800 stitches on her this month and I have already done hold on I can search because I have no Shan up right here um ke uh I worked on her two days I’ve already done 1,300 stitches on her so

I’m already you know 500 stitches away from meeting the goal on her so I will most likely do that get her done this next week get her checked off and then I can pick a different project out of here and try and work on the goal for that

Project so that’s what I’ll be working on that was kind of a long video that is what I’ll be doing in the month of January I’m not sure if I be doing weekly update videos right now or if I will just do end of month update videos

Where I kind of show you like did I meet the goal on this and what I worked on if I meet all the goals for these projects in a month and still have time left over I’m not sure yet what I’m going to work

On I mean I don’t really know will I be able to meet all these goals and have time left I’ve thought about if I meet all my monthly goals and still have days left over about like allowing myself like a small new start like small because this year I’m trying not to

Start anything over 100,000 stitches which the ha Stitch along met those requirements because it’s only 61,000 stitches so I was like wo and so I want to start more small things thank you everyone for watching liking commenting and subscribing and I will see you all

In my next video which will either be in another week or two or it be at the end of the month I’m not sure yet so I’ll see you all then though bye
