April Rotation and Goals

1 April 2008 1 Comment

I was getting ready to sit down and stitch when I realized that I was ready for a new round in my rotation but hadn’t yet decided what to work on because I am at a bit of an impasse concerning it right now.

While the ten-hour rotation has been successful by and large, I am kind of tired of it. I enjoy giving each project a focused amount of time, but have been slightly frustrated at how long it takes me to get through my rotation. This was particularly apparent to me when I was working on “Fairy Flora” a couple of weeks ago because I realized that I hadn’t seen her since December. Unfortunately, at the rate of working on her for 10 hours every three months I will never get her finished by the end of the year.

This led me to consider changing my rotation to one with a focus piece and I got a lot of great advice on how to implement such a rotation, but I am not exactly sure if that is what I want to do either.

However, as I glance through my goals over the past few months I see that on average I tend to work on two of my WIPs a month (not including my “Harvest Witch” SAL), so what I have decided to do for now is work on one other WIP a month in addition to “Fairy Flora.” Although I keep track of my hours I am not going to confine myself to working on these projects for X hours. Instead, I will work on each project throughout the month as I see fit.

So, without further ado, here are my March/April goals:

For March:

  1. Finish “Bearly a Wizard.” – Yep!
  2. Continue my Sunday “Harvest Witch” SAL with Dawn. - Yep!
  3. Stitch for 10 hours on “In Cupid’s Garden.” - Nope.
  4. Stitch for 10 hours on “Fairy Flora.” - Yep!
  5. Order the Kreiniks and charms for “Harvest Witch” and the beads for “Spring Queen” and “In Cupid’s Garden.” - Nope.
  6. Have a blast with my sister and niece who are coming to visit me over Spring Break! - Yep!!!

For April:

  1. Continue my Sunday “Harvest Witch” SAL with Dawn.
  2. Participate in the April SAT.
  3. Work on “Fairy Flora.”
  4. Work on “Poet’s Heart.”
  5. Stitch (and finish) a Christmas Ornament for my 10 Ornies Challenge
  6. Order the Kreiniks and charms for “Harvest Witch” and the beads for “Spring Queen” and “In Cupid’s Garden.”
