ROTATIONS

Well, at the rate I am going, I am never gonna finish anything. So, I wandered over to the TWBB rotation stitchers. Got some great ideas. I really loved the one about rating each project. So that is what I am doing first.

Got out my palm, updated most of the wips and wanna dos. The wips alone = over 130. So, I went to my SLTG desktop prog and sorted by title and printed it out. wow!!! 3+ pages. got to work with a pen and used thefollowing:
E = easy --ornies, small pics (Just Nan smalls under 50 x 50), small mag pieces (usually full cross, possibly aida and under 100 sts each way)
S = solid XX like bigger pics (Paula vaughan, stockings, floral grandeur by dimensions)
SS = specialty stitches -- band samplers (Just Nan, Indigo rose, Drawn Thread)
B = blended TW nuff said
BW = black work, or single colour pieces

Then I have previously listed by size. S M ML L XL BAP. There is different criteria for each of these, but I won't go there unless anyone asks. I have taken out lots of the small projects and put them in a white under the bed rubbermaid box. (also listed on my palm). I am keeping all the bigger ones in a very large bin (approx 4'x2.5'x2'high), then I have the other assorted stuff hanging around. I cannot get enough tubs to hold them all.....uh oh....I am sensing an addict here. insert big eyes here

I have so many wanna dos, that I have started a separate smart list of them (over 50 now) and ornies I wanna do (from Just cross stitch xmas issues and older december issues---another smartlist of them too....don't ask how many)

Well, I still can't figure out which I wanna stitch most. Some have only a bare few stitches in (Noahs sub, Nova, need fabbie for And they sinned....gonna wait on that one. gee, I wonder why LOL )

So, being inspired by the gals on the BB, (thanks all and doodlehead....yours is too small for me LOL, but I like your thinking), I am going to gift meself on my BIRTHDAY today (even tho I am sick and have a sick kid home wandering off humming "happy birthday to me......la la la"
I am off to the basement to my sewing room to plan and ponder. Any helpful hints always welcome Thanks in advance. Oh p.s. anyone know where I can get an issue of SANQ? I need #13 to finish my collection. Just got some icky black and white reprints, but better than nothing I guess.... copies from Hoffman media and only need that last one.

Have a great day all. Love and hugs.....muuuaaahhhh Lynn
