Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hope to post some of these in their own thread soon, but thought I would give you all a small peak into the scope of my insanity. Theses are a few of my WIPs. There are a few (dozen) others, but most are just blobs of background at the moment.



And this is what they will eventually look like.



Hope you enjoy them!

These look great so far. We'll look forward to cheering you on in the SALs.

Lovely WIP's. Look forward to seeing your progress pics.

wow they look fab and great to have another HAED head on board!

Whow 7 projects on the go. Do you stitch them in rotation.

You've sure got a lot of stitching going on! You do very nice work

Thanks everyone!

I have tried rotations in the past, but can never seem to stick to them. I generally just work on whatever is shouting the loudest (and some of them are extremely bossy). I wish I could say that these are all that I have going, but since I also do quilting, crochet, knitting, and am learning to do hardanger, I'm afraid my WIP pile runneth over. I don't mind though. Needlework relieves stress and keeps me sane. Lets just say that I enjoy the ride so much that arriving at an eventual destination is very rewarding, but not completely necessary. Besides, I have found thus far that the "destination" seems to go home with someone else as soon as it is reached. I literally have nothing that I have made in my house, which is why I have decided that the current WIPs are mine, mine, mine! My only regret is that I can't stitch more, but a full time job, a newly retired husband, and almost 9 (one due in June) grandchildren make for a busy life.

Happy stitching everyone!

What lovely projects you have going and it sounds like you are one very busy lady!!

Wow what a lot of WIPs! I like your mentality behind them

Wow, I'll learn all your words by heart, because they speak so much of my attitude towards cross stitch, too, but I couldn't express it as well as you did!

As for your 7 wips, they're all lovely and I especially love the Pompeian Lady and the one about books. I'll look forward to seeing every progress, and congratulations for your little tribe of grandchildren!

I like your attitude So many of us feel guilty about not finishing things, yet it's the stitching we enjoy. Next time I start something new I'll remember it's a bonus to finish something, instead of the aim

Love your WIPs a lovely diverse mixture

I totally agree with your attitude to stitching. I stitch for the sheer pleasure of stitching and the finished product is an extra bonus. Love your projects and look forward to seeing them come to life.

Great attitude to stitching! This is the way I'm also thinking now - nice just to work on lots of different projects here and there, rather than having to think of getting them finished, great explanation/excuse for new starts!

Interesting to see them all laid out together too, the book one especially is looking stunning

Like your thinking,i just go with the flow now,do whatever one i'm in the mood for...Look forward to whatever your next project up date is, your work is lovely.

Wow! Not sure I could cope with that many projects at once I see you have Curl up with a Good Book - I got that chart as my first HAED though have another big project to do first. Look forward to seeing your progress on this one.

What a nice variety of stitching. I love the look of them and it is nice you can stitch whatever takes your fancy. I can't do that as it would drive me crazy to have so many in different stages. But since it works for you that is all that matters. Beautiful patterns and I will look forward to update pictures.

I am impressed with how many you do at once. I usually just stick to one.

Certainly going to be a busy stitcher with all those. i have problems with more than two. Looking great though.
