WIPocalypse 2015 - February Edition

It's hard to believe we're already in February and it's time for this month's WIPocalypse report! January just flew by! Feel free to visit other stitchers who are participating in the WIPocalypse this month by going here!

This month, Measi is asking us the following question:

How do you overcome that feeling that you're in a rut with a particular project?

I have to admit, I don't feel like I get into a rut very often. That is likely because I do a daily rotation and am stitching on something new every day. Yes, there are pieces in my rotation I like more than others, but I tell myself if I can do one day of stitching on one of the pieces that are harder for me to focus on, it's one day closer to completion!

It took me time to get to this place. I used to be a one project at a time stitcher, and that burned me out. Then would do a rotation of one piece a week. That was great for the pieces I loved, not so much for the struggle pieces. (I will clarify here that I love every one of my projects or else I wouldn't be doing them, there are just some that for whatever reason are easier to focus on and spend time on than others.) So for now, I'll keep up my daily rotation!

The other good thing about a daily rotation is that I can get to work on more of my WIPocalypse pieces in a month! This month was an exception to that rule because I was focused on two pieces for the first half of the month, but I'm fully into the daily rotation now!

Now, the real reason why you're here! My WIPocalypse Report for February 2015!

Thanks for stopping by! See you next month!

Until next time!
