OT (?) How many items do you have on display

I used to kid my sister that she never met a wall she didn't like because her
homes had so many needlepoint pictures. Janet's message about her successful
insurance claim for her needlework got me thinking. With pad and pen in hand, I
went through my home and inventoried what I had hanging and on tables. When I
added things up, I was astounded to find that over the years, I had done 58
projects that I deemed worthy of display. The number is inflated by many, many
small (5x7 or less) items and doesn't include 'failed' experiments and things I
gave away.

How many of your projects do you have on display?

*chuckles* A quick count downstairs...and the answer is ONE!

But then, I've only been married for five months...and prior to that I was
the typical destitute college student. Now that I live in a real house with
a real husband (who earns real money!), I actually have leisure time.

Still...I've got a big stack of kits and loose fabric sitting in a box, just
waiting for me. Give me a few years, ladies...and I might be able to catch
up!

Riiiiight...

It depends on the time of year. I have 2 cross stitch pictures up year round
and a Christmas Cross Stitch that is only up now. I also have 4 magnets on the
fridge. Everything else has been given away (excpet the barettes , but I
don't have them on display). Maybe I should.

I have 6 things framed and hanging on my walls. I have 50 some finished pieces
in a box in my closet - some big, some little, some spectacular, some
common........I have an incredible stash. I think I'll take lessons from
others' heartaches and record what I have. Oh, and I told all my friends and
family that when it's my time to go, it's all going with me! - just dig me an
extra big hole and dump it all in with me.

Not that much of my own stitching (I tend to give it away). But I have
a number of pieces (10 if memory serves) done by my DM. All of them
have special meaning and are irreplaceable as DM past away seven years ago.

Never got around to counting them, cross stitch, long stitch,
needlepoint, beaded tassels, beaded bottles, beaded boxes, parchment
craft and bobbin lace. Not forgetting wool wrapping.

At any given time, between my wife (Karen) and myself, we have approximately
100 stitched items on display. Some are seasonal and get rotated. Our main
hallway upstairs has been turned into a "stitching gallery" with over 50
pieces on display. These are pretty much permanent and don't get rotated.

We have 7 framed pieces hanging on display right now, 2 are about to be put
in frames, 23 are finished but not framed yet.

Not many. Most of my creations are given away.

Not very many anymore. I mostly have my drawings hanging up. I drew my
children when they were little and took down the cross-stitching
pictures. I steel have them here, though, tucked away safely until I'm
ready to rehang them. ~~Denise
