The La D Da box is just wonderful. <br />I keep track of the same things as you in my stitching notebook-it's just a regular cheapo spiral notebook. I almost always stop enjoying stitching when I have goals and deadlines. On one had, it's nice to cross things off the list, but on the other, it's just like you said-it feels too much like work. :)Tobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714897855735757393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11602491.post-26028201133258264532007-01-25T10:56:00.000-06:002007-01-25T10:56:00.000-06:00Thanks for the "heads up" about scissor fobs.

I track my charts, those that I have fabric or fibers for, my WIPS, and my finishes. Just like you, items move from one worksheet to the next until finished. Unfortunately, the list of charts far exceeds the finishes!Cathy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06393543239345670736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11602491.post-374131531522574552007-01-23T20:07:00.000-06:002007-01-23T20:07:00.000-06:00Oh that makes sense to me, I don't suppose you'd e...Oh that makes sense to me, I don't suppose you'd email me a copy of your document.

I don't want that. So I am going to go back and reevaluate my system.

I've never been one to really set a bunch of goals with my stitching and until recently I wasn't much of a rotator .. but I do like the idea of knowing what I have and what I'd like to stitch! lol<br /><br />ohhh .. I forgot, did you pick your fabric for Miseltoe House? I wasn't going to make any changes, I love the fabric they are using .. and had my birthday discount at Needlecraft Corner, so I ended up ordering a few of the ornament cuts Drema did.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736532102842862232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11602491.post-10061279199477463682007-01-23T12:50:00.000-06:002007-01-23T12:50:00.000-06:00Well that is pretty lengthy and quite impressive! ...Well that is pretty lengthy and quite impressive!

I am going to try to not stockpile projects anymore. If when I start a project, and my mind starts wandering and I don't want to pick it up and work on it, I figure it isn't what I wanted to do and I'll find something else. I probably will not keep the other project to finish at all, unless it is for some particular gift or something like that. I want to enjoy myself not make it work like you said. Too many years of having to do models for the shop instead of things for myself.Susieqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234801060448717780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11602491.post-83991957951470156782007-01-23T08:38:00.001-06:002007-01-23T08:38:00.001-06:00btw, [yeah, we all know how sideways my mind works...btw, [yeah, we all know how sideways my mind works] ... did you consider entering this as an SBQ???Leliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234080378437860941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11602491.post-37227913582549926122007-01-23T08:38:00.000-06:002007-01-23T08:38:00.000-06:00Lovely curtains!!! I think your organization sys...Lovely curtains!!! I think your organization system is very good. I have an organizer from the dollar store & the rings open/shut for page insert - move around, etc. <br /><br />It is much easier for me to jot notes [and yes ... post-its] to pages when I'm in my room. <br /><br />I made lists of my charts & all that good stuff ... which was why I was so surprised to find a couple bags I quite forgot about from a store that closed back in ... say 1999? sigh.<br /><br />And, the blue-green linen is for the week-end ornament SAL. I want to stitch the Pear Tree from LHN - '06 Ornament magazine. And, I don't want to BUY anything -- want to stitch from stash. I pulled out some floss, over dye fiber, a blue-green linen, and a grey-green linen. In a day or 2, I'll look at everything again & adjust ... LOL. Like, just maybe it needs more red, less hazelnut brown [or less boring brown IMO]. <br /><br />I came across 'Moon Garden' chart yesterday & think I might try that cross stitch method you describe -- in the circular within the flower petals [or something]. I cannot believe I don't have the linen or fibers for it. And, man alive, I looked hi & lo for them. The pattern is ALL sampler thread stuff -- and that means $$$$ on my next trip to LNS.<br /><br />And -- so sorry this is a long comment -- maybe I should have e-mailed .... anyhow ...<br /><br />You actually KIT UP your stuff??? Like, bag up projects with linen, fibers, charms, beads, etc??? Is it easier that way? How many projects are all in 'kits' in your stash?? And, what if you need the same fiber in more than one project?Leliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234080378437860941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11602491.post-2837012988691944672007-01-23T08:30:00.000-06:002007-01-23T08:30:00.000-06:00Your system sounds very involved!
