Hmm...what to start?

I'm bored, so naturally I want to start something new! lol

The charts tempting me most a

Purple Perfection by Silver Lining

Celtic Angel by Barbara Baatz

and

Twelve Days of Christmas from the magazine "Cross Stitch Collection"

All hold a different appeal, all would work as my reward for finishing
Cinderella.....

hmmm.....

something like:

Twelve Days of Christmas from the magazine "Cross Stitch Collection"

Well ya know, I don't actually know what any of them look like--but if you
want it done for Christmas, now's probably a good time to start that one.

(Note I don't mention WHICH Christmas... I'm not a speedy stitcher)

Maybe whichever is the quickest/easiest for a nice change of pace?
Save the more complicated/larger ones for after your break. That's what
I seem to be doing lately!

This is my method for stitching Xmas presents as well. I'm making it for Xmas,
which Xmas is as yet to be determined!

I stitch fairly quickly, but since all my pleasure stitching gets tossed aside
when I model stitch, it doesn't make much progress sometimes! lol

I started Purple Perfection last September. What I've finished is looking
very nice. I think I'm doing it on 16-ct aida (maybe 18-ct?), silver grey
color. Thankfully, I xc'd the chart & enlarged it. I use this as one of my
travel projects (aida works better for me for travel-projects, it's getting
harder and harder to work on linen in the car -- I blame it on the roads,
couldn't possibly be my eyes, right!?) -- I have a clipboard w/ a holding
compartment & I keep my fabric, little hoop, highlighter, chart pages,
needles, clover cutter in the storage area & clip the ring w/ threads to the
clippy-thing.

If your roads are like the roads around here, blame it on the needle
that poked you in the eye while stitching in the car... Sounds like you
do know how to get it all together and take it on the road. Hope the
project continues to develop beautifully!

How about Mar-Bek's Nativity? ) I am sooooooo tempted by that piece.
I seem to be stuck in a petit point loop (no pun intended. I love
petit point (tent stitch) but I'm now looking at many other stitching
projects that involve cross stitch, embroidery, hardanger, and a whole
new whack of stitching techniques.

The charts are in my stash but it certainly isn't likely to be started
soon since I have no idea when I can afford all the supplies. Maybe
I'll win the MegaMillions lottery...

Take it in small chunks. You will want to buy all the fabric at once to ensure
it matches, but you can buy the fibers as you need them. You're not likely to
finish off more than 5 or 10 colors per pay period, which is an affordable
quantity.

Alternately, NN offers pre-packs of the supplies, so just hint to one relative
that you want the Kreinik pack for your birthday, and to another that you want
the DMC pack for Christmas. "Here's an order form, already filled out, just
fill in your Visa number and fax it in."
