My first project was not going well, so I decided to join a cross-stitch forum. Well, that was a bad idea. The first thing I noticed was that all the people on the forum had signatures with a list of Works In Progress at the end. How can you have 5 works in progress? You start one, work on it, finish it, start the next...
So then I decided, well I guess I could have 2 WIP. One will be detailed and need the proper location, while the other will be easier, lower stitch count, and will be good for traveling to and from work.
Well, then I learned about Heaven and Earth Designs. Well, one of those is sooo big and sooo detailed that it will take sooo long, it can't be my only project. So three projects isn't really a big deal. I'll work on the HAED till I get bored then go back to my original project which after a year I had gotten bored of.
What's a Stitch A Long? Oh, how cool! Wouldn't it be cool to do one of those. Hmm, this one is nice, it is already started, but the pattern is so perfect for my cousin. I guess I could join and maybe work on it on the weekends. So I would have a work project, and a weekend travel project, and then the two big projects.
Oh look, a new SAL is starting for the new year. I could actually start right along with everyone else and see what it is really like to be in a SAL...
Holy Crap! That is five projects! How did this happen!!?
