Today’s “Stitching Blogger’s Question” was suggested by Bea and is:
When you have almost finished a pattern and start thinking about the next one to stitch, how do you select it? (a list, most recent purchase, etc.)
Hmmmm… what a fascinating question! I’ve been plagued by obligation stitching lately, so I think my next start is going to be one for ME! However, I would normally go through my stash and pull out whatever calls to me the loudest. Oftentimes, I even kit things up in advance just to stop their screaming. 😉 In fact, I have one that’s been sitting and waiting for me for months. I’ve been dying to make a tuffet pincushion (biscornu)!
That being said, I have a lot of WIPs that I want to start working through, as well, so I’ll have to balance out new projects with exchanges, SALs and WIP/UFO work. I figure that I should be able to get a serious rotation started in the new year, once all of the obligation and gift stitching has really come to a head.
Of course, all of that being said, I had a tough time getting to sleep last night because my housework goals for the next couple of weeks were swimming in my head, along with visions of finally starting into the graphics work needed for my intensive, heavenly website revamp. Shoot, I have contracted web work to do, too! Eeep!
Yeah, 2006 is looking like a good time to reprioritize my life. 🙂
