If I had any sense in my head I would work on the WIP's that are closest to being done, so that I could actually meet my goal of having 25% of them done by the end of the year. Instead I meander through my stitching basket. I figure though that if I don't start anything new, and am still progressing on the multiple WIPs I have (ummm my current total would be 39--- don't tell anyone!)...anyways if I just keep stitching on the projects I have then eventually I am bound to finish some of them. 39 projects is a lot to rotate through. Even my short attention span should not be able to get bored with that many.
Other than that, I mailed off my Christmas exchange piece through the Hooked on Exchanging blog last weekend. I can't wait to show it here, but it has not arrived yet at my partner's mailbox. I organized this exchange, the blog had gone dormant since the beginning of 2016. I was a little nervous about it all (would anyone want to exchange with me/what if someone didn't stitch anything), but am so happy I did it. I am not the most organized stitcher, but I do love stitching for people who truly appreciate the work that goes into making a stitched gift, and I love the surprise of getting cross stitch in the mail. I am thinking of doing a spring or Valentine exchange after the holidays are over to keep the blog going, hopefully a few more stitchers will want to join in too.
I'll end with a funny I saw in one of my Facebook stitching groups:
Why isn't there a delivery option of:
"Don't deliver all the stuff I ordered online when my husband is home to see it"

Oh my! I'm sorry I missed the exchange....maybe next year? I've been a little busy 😀
Looking forward to seeing your exchange package.

The delivery option is funny!! Sadly, my husband does the bills so I can't get away with anything! At least you have a lot of WIPs to chose from when deciding to work on one lol
I do believe if we stitch even just a little on all our WIPS they will get finished some day. I always love your projects, so enjoy seeing all your progress.
You sound just like me I also have loads of WIPs , but thats what keeps my interest on going I also love starting lots of new ones, hugs.
All your progress looks great!! I agree, I don't think you can get bored with that rotation of projects :)
I love doing the exchange! Thank you for organizing it :) And for the lovely card and goodies.
I would love to participate in the V-Day/spring exchange :)
Have a great weekend!!!
Nice design your new start is.
Your little note made me smile, although my Dh is very understanding where new stuff is concerned.
You are a bit like me. I also have 30+ WIPs and I love them all. And I'm convinced that I will finish them all. One day.
Diane Arthurs' designs are all so nice and worth stitching. And among my own WIPs there are two her designs.
Lovely progress :)
