Ta da!! The City of WIPs!

After sitting around trying to figure out the best way to showcase my Wips - mainly my 63 Squares Wip - I decided that the best way would be to have a blog dedicated 100% to WIPs so that I can update one place with pictures - 63 posts on my blog about squares would not be exciting to read, but one can check here each Wednesday to see the current status etc - a lot better in my mind! So, I will try this out for a few weeks and see if I like this concept - if not I will think of something else! Be on the lookout for the upcoming WIP posts on Wednesday!
