			<description><![CDATA[ Okay I have heaps of wips, I used to rotate really well, then had a case of startitis for a few years.  Now I have two wee ones (nearly 2 and nearly 6mths, 6
children in total but the others are older) so a lot less stitching time.

I have tried a huge rotation

I have tried a rotation with a focus with some success but unless its one I love I loose the rotation mood

I have tried a timed rotation which was successful, but now that I sometimes only get 5 minutes then the baby... ]]></description>

stitch as much as I would like since I get a little burnt out on them.  Right now I&#39;m trying to stitch some models because I will likely get
published/distributed.  I have those pieces in various forms of completion and I&#39;m working on some deadlines to get everything ready for St. Charles.  I

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m returning to the flock after a long absence. My DH had cancer and finally lost his five-year battle two years ago.  During his illness, stitching kept
me sane (when I could find the time); afterwards, I just threw stuff in storage totes, all mis-matched; sometimes cross-stitch and knitting got jumbled
together.  Sort of like my life at the time. Everything was upside down and I couldn&#39;t make much sense of anything!

Things are getting better and I got &quot;pushed&quot; into... ]]></description>

thinking of just having 5 projects in rotation and then adding in after a couple of months. Does that seem reasonable? Other suggestions?

definitely want to to stitch and finish. I was so indecisive as my WIPs are all huge designs and I kept changing  my mind as to which designs I want to spend
years stitching. So if you all could help me organise my must stitches into a workable rotation I would be so happy!

I look at the projects in my room or my list of projects and I freeze.  I think the problem is that I have too much to choose from.

So help me pick, or put together a rotation....  All the projects on the following list have either been kitted, started or I have the majority of the supplies
needed.

kitted up? Do you store them beside your stitching area or in another area of your home? These are things I am wondering about as I try to get the best setup
for my small one bedroom apt. I have several other fiberarts that are also taking up their fair share of my space so I am trying to at least get one of my
hobbies organized. Thanks.... ]]></description>
