Maybe just roll the dice?

Not sure whether I have too many projects, or not enough. It could be too many since the total number exceeds the number of sides on an ordinary dice (yes, I know, singular vs plural, but this sounds better to my ear) but is fewer than the number on your D&D 20 sided die. I suppose I could make a list, and then roll?

This is in contrast to many others who are organizers, planners, schedulers. I mean yes, I stitch things that come out a segment at a time, and I know when the new parts will drop (into my email thank you very much). But I don’t plan what I am stitching each and every day. I don’t have a rotation of projects that I go down. I don’t really have, nor do I want, strict goals. The best I can do is attempt to keep all the materials for a particular project in a dedicated bag.

The bin of left over SALs from last year.

The bin with most, but not all of those underway for this year.

All of which leads me to

½ the Red Queen (Alice through the Looking Glass, Owlforest on probably 16 count off white bought in a tube)

and this year’s new full-coverage start. It will be another dragonling on a book.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
