Well as you can see I'm great on those New starts, not so great on working on current wips and totally suck at finishes!
So this year I am more organised - I have narrowed my wips down to 60. (Don't laugh - it was really hard)
18 are Supersize charts
42 are from smalls to BAP's.
I am hoping for at least 3 - 5 finishes.
I've been asked by some stitcher's to reveal my rotation. So if you're interested here is my schedule, rotation and wip list.

As I stitch through the rotation I will be adding these to my wip tab seen at the top of the post.
18 SUPERSIZE BABIES - the list can be seen in the tab at the top of the post
My Stitching Schedule is as follows:
1) 💗 Main Rotation - Using a random number generator app to choose one of the wips from the list to work on or the one that screams the most
2) 💗 Supersized Baby - Same deal as with the Main rotation
3) 💗 XXL Guykou - Chosen focus piece for SS Babies for the year
4) 💗 HAED Bap - Same deal as with the Main rotation
5) 💗 Carnival Moon - Chosen focus piece for HAED BAPs
6) 💗 SS Guardian Angel - Overall focus piece as I really really really want to finish this one
7) 💗 Ghosts in the Forest - SAL with Sharine
8) 💗 Rose Zircon - Gift for my sis
9) 💗 Fuschia - SAL with Kelly
10) 💗 David Bowie Tribute chart - Alternate between my 2 Gecko Rouge Bowie charts. David Bowie by Sarah Bowerstock and, It's only forever by Medusa Dollmaker
11) 💗 Prince - Tilton Crafts - Gift for my BFF.
This schedule will be put into place in February or late January. As I'm participating in a new start thingy for January so going off schedule just for this month.
I have set the rule that I will have to stitch each category before the schedule starts again. I'm hoping this will keep me in line and also it's kind of loose so I won't get bored. As anyone that knows me, knows I have the attention spam of small amoeba. LOL! No offence to Amoeba.
Fingers crossed the 2017 year in stitches post will be alot better than this one.
Have a great year stunners, in stitches and in everything you do.
Wishing you all the very best for the year, may it be magical!!
And now for my other resolution. To keep up with blogs, I'm off to check out all of yours.
Love ya muchly
Take care
xoxo Alicia

ReplyDeleteWow, you did so well last year! That is some complicated rotation! I love all the pieces you've picked and it won't surprise you to know that I have some of them myself!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year my lovely! May 2017 bring you nothing but happiness and stitchy goodness! Xxxxx
I think all those page finishes should count in your finishes total too! There are some gorgeous pieces here.
ReplyDeleteI actually totalled all my WIPs and UFOs, currently standing at 20 projects with another 7 on the list to start this year. But only one is as big as your HAEDs!
I need a lie down after reading that! You have some beautiful projects on the go - Carnival Moon and the two GeckoRouge new starts really stand out to me. Good luck with your stitching this coming year - may you have lots of page finishes!
ReplyDeleteNarrowed it down to 60, yikes! LOL You did make some awesome progress on those WIPS. I absolutely love Carnival Moon, it is so pretty!! I do hope your new rotation schedule works out for you and you are able to sneak in a few more finishes this year.
ReplyDeleteI wondered how you worked your rotation. Here is to a stitchy 2017!
ReplyDeleteI personally LOVE the elf wine apron...itsssss my fave! Lol
ReplyDeleteVisiting with sisters is always special, glad you got to have a wine and cheese crafty day with her. I love the piece you are doing for her and I am soooo glad the dog has two eyes now!
