I've been making lists of older projects that I want to work on.
It's a very long list and definitely needs to be winnowed down. After all, I'd like to have some finishes instead of just moving forty-leven projects along.
And I was looking at the list last night and realized I didn't have anything that would be conducive to working on during guild meetings/lectures/stitch-ins. And I have a lot of guild meetings and lectures and potential stitch-ins coming up.
So, short of digging out a needlepoint piece that just needs the background worked (and I'm sure there are a few of those in the stash), I pulled out one of the projects from a class I took from Jackie du Plessis a year or so ago. It's a stitcher's pocket, aka "All That Glitters."
And I have a good start. The design has a series of interlocking motifs that are easy to count and fill in, and it uses an elongated cross stitch so it has a beautiful texture, and it's complicated enough to keep me interested but easy to do while otherwise engaged.
Tomorrow is Sampler Sunday--that's going to stay the same--and then on Monday I'll start working on one of the multitude of projects on my list.
We'll see which one wins out.
