Another Serendipity Design -- Carolyn's Garden Sunflower.
It's hard to believe I've started 25 projects, and still have 6 more to go. To be perfectly honest, I'm exhausted. I usually stitch every day for an hour or two, but with this challenge, I feel pressured to not only stitch daily, but to make enough progress that a photo doesn't look like nothing.
As well, the first 15 projects I started were designs that I LOVED, and couldn't wait to stitch. I already know where I want to hang half of them. The last 16 projects on my UCJC list, well, most of them I'm starting because I have the kit, and I like them, and I should start them eventually, but the passion to stitch them isn't really there. I also feel guilty for starting a few new HAEDs, even though I haven't put much of a dent in the current HAEDs I have on the go.
I'm glad I did this challenge. Organizing my projects was a blast, and most days the stitching has been fun. It certainly got me out of the stitching rut I was in. I will not do this again next year. (I think I need next year just to finish what I started this year.) If I do this challenge again (perhaps in 2014), it will only be 15 starts. 31 is just too insane.
But I will finish the challenge this year. I will start them all!!
This was a challenge that I could not do. Having that many wips would bother me. I do have a list of projects that I want to do sooner rather than later (which does change). I have about 5 projects in my rotation.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're keeping up, too! Yes, it's hard to keep doing new starts when everyone has finished their 15 and they can go back to them now. Your sunflower is pretty!
