I think I've found a Rotation

Heather N · Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2009 2:04 pm Post subject: I think I've found a Rotation

Since getting rebitten by the stitching bug, I've worked on all five pieces that I would consider WIPs. They are:

Mira's Fairy Moon ("FM");
TW's Stretch;
TW's Winter Faery ("WF");
Designer Stitches' "Should be Kissed' (my Gone with the Wind [GWTW[ one );
DMC freebie, "Holiday Cookies ("HC)."

I also ordered the fabbie for Crossed Wing's "Mitten Games" which I have the floss and chart for already. I figure that once it arrives, I'll probably want to start that right away. (On the other hand, I've had the chart and floss over two years, so why not wait a little longer until I finish a WIP?).

I'm probably 60-70% finished Stretch;
20%-25% finished FM;
15% finised GWTW and HC;
10% finished WF.

I'm thinking of pushing to finish Stretch, as really I'd really like to get something finished (it's been almost two years since my last HD). I figure give him the most time, and then rotate through the other projects, giving the next priority to FM (since she's the oldest WIP and the next closest to being done).

How does that sound? Does this make sense? Any suggestions? I figure as I want to put more time on a certain piece, I can do that, yet not neglect the others. I figure I could possibly finish up to three of those projects this year - maybe four - as two of the five are very simple stitches.

I think it sounds like a good plan. Glad to hear you've been bitten by the stitching bug again, gf. Smile

That's a great idea. I'm glad you got bitten by the stitching bug. You better send him my way.
