I truly believe that I should be able to finish sometime in 2005 all of the projects that were in my rotation as of January 1, 2005. I have one major planned start that was not currently kitted (Maidens of the Seasons - combined), and will probably start and finish a couple of items currently in my Kitted, To Be StRIPped list. I would really like to end 2005 with only 20 cross stitch projects in my WIP / StRIP list.
UPDATE July 26, 2005: I have decided to StRIP several projects from my WIP list. Fancy Pansy was the one which started this latest frenzy. I really don't love the project any longer. And when I got to thinking about the reasons why I no longer love working on it (or looking at the finished product), I realized that I no longer have any desire to work on Ixlandia or Starry Night. And although the finished products are pretty, they just don't grab me the way they used to for Pharaoh's Pet, Guardian, and Storyteller. I'm going to de-kit Ixlandia and Starry Night, and pack away Pharaoh's Pet and Storyteller - just to UFO status for now, and will re-evaluate my feelings toward them in a year or so. Guardian already has a new home.
