WIPocalypse - January 9

It's January 9 here, so I'm making a start with my WIPocalypse report.
My current project is HAED Jolly Old Fellow.  I started it in 2009, and have worked on it for  block of time  (several months) each year since then .  I have now finished 14 of the 36 pages.

This is what it looked like when I started stitching this year (on Jan 2):

Here it is with Page 14 completed yesterday (I took it off the frame for this pic):


and this is what it looks like when I finished stitching tonight:

I hope to finish page 15 and make a good start on page 16 in the coming month.

    I've added you to the WIPocalypse, Elfie! Thanks for joining.

    I'm also in awe of your HAEDs. You stitch so quickly!

    HAEDs are intense. That one looks especially so.

    So you keep Christmas in your heart -- and on your stitchy stand -- all the year through! That's a great way to keep a real holiday spirit.

    Nice, nice work.

    On such a detailed design any finish is a good finish. Great progress, keep it up and we may see it framed sooner than you think it will be.

    WOW! That is a beautiful design. I have several HAEDs in my stash but have not worked up the courage to start one.
