What a circle! :) What's important is that you enjoy what you are doing.<br />I know what you mean about the allergies ~ hope you're feeling better soon!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807665680552691472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-25327366931822624992011-10-20T06:15:13.386-07:002011-10-20T06:15:13.386-07:00i hear your pain, lol....i generally do the smalls...i hear your pain, lol....i generally do the smalls...i think like others that it is the instant gratification....have generally stayed away from the larger projects as i loose interest pretty quickly (i think its more of an age thing!)...but there are several out there that are starting to call my name....in general tho, i mostly stitch for myself and to just enjoy!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219823319143964156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-45687953573726948492011-10-20T04:42:57.833-07:002011-10-20T04:42:57.833-07:00Since I generally am a one larger project at a tim...Since I generally am a one larger project at a time kind of stitcher, I throw in lots of little ones along the way to keep myself happy. Overall, I'm happiest stitching smalls (like your darling witches, Mindi!). <br /><br />Like, Annie--I'm more into stitching for myself and what makes me happiest :)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-54962344717584234752011-10-20T04:35:50.870-07:002011-10-20T04:35:50.870-07:00Girl, you are singing my song! LOL Seriously tho...Girl, you are singing my song! LOL Seriously though, I have been obsessing about this, too. I have too many things started and I find that lends itself to blahs about blogging (how many times can you post WIP pics of the same thing???) and stitching in general. I have a lot of framed samplers and a lot that still needs to be framed and too many WIPs. I don't do much/any seasonal stitching so have decided that I'm going to whittle my way through my WIPs, supplementing it with quicker to finish seasonal things. I'm not into a lot of fuss and frou frou with finishing, which works well since I STINK at finishing, so figure I'll compensate for my inability by focusing on the lack of frou frou and just do what I want to do. I like Annie's attitude about stitching and need to work more towards that!Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-55913561901629091782011-10-20T04:02:27.302-07:002011-10-20T04:02:27.302-07:00oh dear dont worry so much..there are some times t...oh dear dont worry so much..there are some times that when we all feel the same sometimes..<br />sending you lots of (hugs)<br />cheer up xxxcuckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650071456271781518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-40009030131625400912011-10-20T03:31:45.951-07:002011-10-20T03:31:45.951-07:00I'm at the stage in life where I just don'...I'm at the stage in life where I just don't worry about 'stitching goals'.

I got too over-enthusiastic at the start of this year for making plans for things to stitch each month! Don't plan to do that next year. I've a number of larger projects that I'd really like to complete. Don't be too hard on yourself though. As long as we enjoy what we're stitching at the time that's the main thing.Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474581695820151565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-83945253455287511702011-10-20T01:27:10.128-07:002011-10-20T01:27:10.128-07:00Hi Mindi,

I don't seem to have accomplished much, I have been distracted by exchanges and I haven't finished much of anything. Ugh.<br />I need to focus. <br />I hope that your allergies settle down.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01551177344589162442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-79990052307198909762011-10-20T01:13:25.310-07:002011-10-20T01:13:25.310-07:00Don't worry!
