Here's where the sampler stands now....
I think 2016 will see me mixing things up stitching-wise. Somehow, Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I am determined to start some sort of a rotation-system. I am SO open to hearing any suggestions as to how you deal with rotating/not rotating your projects. Also, do tend to spend monthly on lots of little projects or do you save up for a few months and the. Go slap-happy with your spending? I have finally convinced all my nearest and dearest that the absolute best gift for me is stitching money. Thanks to their generosity, I have a tidy little nest egg set aside. I can't wait to start spending (hopefully wisely!) when the right project (or 2 or 3! Lol) pops up and I "gotta" have "it" or "them".
What are some of your "gotta have it" projects?
(Oh and I'm still collecting some goodies for my give-a-way. I'll try to have it ready to go around the middle of August! Stay tuned!)
Hugs and Grace,

Your WIP is looking lovely! For me, I just look at different sites and then decided what I love. I do have a few designers I like to buy, BBD, and Plum Street are a few of my favorites. I like Barbara Ana for Halloween.
What a beautiful WIP!!!
I stitch what I like and blogging is kind of awful for this because you discover new designs that you suddenly HAVE TO BUY :D
I do love Lizzie Kate and Tralala
Hi, I am doing Save the Stitches and it is divided into blocks. So my rotation is on the first of each month I do a block of Save the Stitches. When the block is finished I work on the next project I am working on. Right now it is a fox for my niece. At the beginning of August I will switch back to StS. It is working well for me.
My rotation is that I choose around 10 projects I want to work on over some period of time (say at the beginning of the year). Some may be WIPs/UFOs and others (intended) new starts. The new starts aren't necessarily anything specific- it could be "Halloween pattern" or "Mirabilia pattern" or whatever. Each month I work on 1 or 2 of the projects. So each project gets a 2-4 week rotation. When I finish something, I generally start something new. And sometimes I start something new just because I feel like it. I try to rotate through all the projects during the course of the year. Some of the projects get multiple rotations, because I have a deadline to finish, etc.
