It’s been an absolute age since I worked on any of my cross stitch projects. I am currently in my knitting & crochet era. Although my cross stitch WIPs may think I have abandoned them in the corner of the front room, I do want to make some time for them in the coming year.

I currently have 12 cross stitch WIPS. These are:

• Spirit of Christmas by Lizzie Kate
• Jane Eyre Sampler by The Primitive Hare
• Deer Friends by Plum Street Samplers
• Village of Hawk Run Hollow by Carriage House Samplings
• Reflections of New York by Ink Circles
• Advent Banner by me
• Gingerbread Stocking by Durene Jones
• C-3PO by Stitchline
• Giant Harry Potter by Clouds Factory
• Memories of Summer by me
• Farmhouse Christmas – Grandpa’s Pickup by Little House Needleworks
• Autumn ABCs by Lizzie Kate

I have left most of these untouched for over a year. Looking at the list of my WIPs, I do want to finish all of these. Some of these were intended to be gifts for family members. Perhaps that is the motiviation I need to pick-up my cross stitch again.

Do you have any suggestions for how to make time for all the crafts? Do you dedicate set time for different discipline.
