Works in Process

I have been reading stitching blogs like crazy the last few days and I have sure enjoyed them all. I have seen so many finished pieces that I would love to have in my stash too. I saw many pinkeeps, biscornu's, scissors fobs and tins that I loved and want to try my hand at them one day. I have only finished one needlebook that I started in a class many years ago but love it. I think it would be fun to try my hand at all these different finishes.

I want to set up a WIP rotation for the pieces I want to get finished. I find this hard to do because when I get on a stitching roll I don’t want to switch but I am going to try it for a while. Maybe I can get some things done this way. I plan to add a few other pieces that I have larking in the stitching box that sits beside my stitching chair as I get more done on the smaller pieces.
Here is the list of the pieces that I am going to put in my rotation and the picture of how they look today, 8/11/09. Once I set up the plan for my rotation I will post that here too. (I sure hope this works better than setting goals, that didn't work for me)

Nice projects in your rotation! I have never tried one, I just do what I like and eventually they all get done! There are tons of tutorials on the web to help you try many different finishes. That's the way I have tried and learned!
