On Saturday I decided that I would go through my wip basket. I have a rather large one with wheels. I purchased this right before I had my knee replacement surgery so that it could sit by my chair and I wouldn't have to worry about trying to get up and gather things, it was all right beside me. I thought it was time to go through it and clean up and organize a bit. I did organize and take some things out as I just became so overwhelmed by how many projects I have started. Do you ever get that way?
I think that maybe I am ready for spring cleaning and I was just a big disgusted with just how many there are. Today I don't feel quite as overwhelmed and disgusted but still realize I have to do something and get these things finished. Oh and I should mention that this list of wips aren't all that I have. There are many more in totes that I need to go through. I plan to do that soon so I can get an accurate list of wips, kits, and patterns that I have.
I thought I would share the wips that were in my basket.

I thought that I had about 40 wips but in looking at this list and thinking about others that I know of, I think the number is well over 40. I am thinking perhaps I need to try to work on one at a time and then have George Crossing the Delaware project going as well. I just get so excited about the kitting up process and the starting and then it is laid down and on to others and the whole process starts again. So, I am wondering how many wips do you have?
I can't count high enough to answer your question!!!!
ReplyDeleteSusan-I am afraid that will be my case when I go through all that I have.
DeleteI think I have around 27, most of them large projects and lots of repro samplers. I have been stitching 'The Old Scot' from Hands Across the Sea Samplers and haven`t been able to put it down so the rest are just languishing in my wip basket...
ReplyDeleteI am stuck on the Early Americans right now and can't put it down.
DeleteI know exactly how many I have because I have a spreadsheet!
ReplyDelete13 from before 2017, 11 from 2017 and 6 new to this year. But some of these are monthly SALs and will be complete by the end of this year.
