April Rotation and Goals

01 April 2008 19:29 Renée goals

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.”

    Looks like you did well with your March goals, good luck with the April ones. Harvest Witch is so cute, I always enjoy seeing your progress on her, and she’s looking so close to being a finish. Good luck with adjusting your rotation to better fit how you want it to work in with your projects.
