The Carrots

I was trying to straighten up my corner Friday evening, and realized I have way too many things started in my workbasket.

I decided I needed something to motivate myself to get a few things done.

And this showed up in the mail:

Lakeland Odyssey

Jenny Adin-Christie

It followed The Ort King by only days.

Two things that I really want to work on. Soon.

So I've decided to use them as the "carrots" to get some of the previously started projects finished.

But which one to work on first?

I wrote the names of all the things in my workbasket on little slips of paper, put them in a bag, and made Dearly Beloved choose.  

And this is what he chose:

Pineapple Perfection

Barbara Jackson

So this is what I'm stitching until it is done.  Then I'll get him to pull another slip, and then another until I don't feel guilty starting something else.

Please note that I have never felt guilty about starting a new project, so I'm not quite sure how well this will work--but at least there will be fewer projects falling out of the basket.
