Well guys I could use your input on something, if you all would be so good. As many of you will know I have been working away on Majestic Peacock, however I have run out of the main colour for the back stitching. I will need to contact Dimensions and see if I can get more.
Here is my question, once I have the other back stitching etc done in this, should I work on only Autumn until I get the replacements to finish MP? Or do I move onto my next YOTA project, Elegance of the Orient? Or will I start a new mini?
I am really not sure what to do. I am struggling with the 'new start itch', HAED Fallen Angel and I Believe in Fairies are calling me but I am determined not to give in to it. I made the decsion at the start of the year of no new starts, except minis, until I work my way through my current WIPs. Some of my other WIPs are also calling to me, HAED Bridge of Wings and Clara, but I had made the choice to work on Elegance next.
So what do you guys think I should do?
Hmmm I think you can work now on autumn one :)
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching x
I really have enjoyed watching your progress on Autumn and would love to see more...so it gets my vote!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to vote for Autumn, too, because even though you want to start something new I think you'll be happy later that you didn't.
ReplyDeleteI agree and vote for working on Autumn. Here is your chance to put your pedal to the metal and go for it! Make it a challenge to see how much you can get done before the replacement threads show up. You may amaze yourself!
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for your yota elegance of the Orient since you are not too far away from finishing it. When its done you'll feel great for knocking out another WIP. That's too bad you ran out of thread on peacock. Hopefully it shows up soon!
ReplyDeleteI would start a mini. You need something new to work on just because.

Funny that you should mention running out of thread for a Dimensions project. I ran out of a couple of colours for my Northwind Owl, and the lady who runs my local craft shop says that it happens all of the time with Dimensions kits. So far I seem to have plenty of threads for the African Lions though.
ReplyDeleteI say start a new mini. At least then it's something new but it won't hinder your overall progress with other projects too much :)
I'd probably work on Elegance of the Orient. Another finish would make you feel good. A mini wouldn't hurt too much, and if you really have the new start bug...
ReplyDeleteSuch a bummer when you run out of a color you need. I say go for Autumn and see how much you can get done! And for your new start itch, I have heard of people doing a system where they allow themselves a new start for each finish, or if you feel like you have too many WIPs, maybe a new start is allowed after 2 finishes, or more if needed. That way you still get some good work done on your WIPs but you also get to scratch the new start itch :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm....autumn seems to be the popular choice. I would work on Elegance of the Orient so that it's closer to being finished when you finish Peacock. Who am I kidding? If it was me, it would be new start all the way...lol.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Autumn but maybe a new mini would stop you caving in where a new bigger start is concerned and you would have quicker finish:)
ReplyDeleteI want to vote for Autumn as I love it, but if it were me I would start a mini...
ReplyDeleteI would start a mini to satisfy the "new start itch" When I get that itch, if I don't start something, I am not happy stitching on anything.
ReplyDeleteI'd stay clear from your next YOTA - if you're anything like me, it would mean you'll never go back to MP!! A new mini will satisfy your new stitch itch but be finished in a short period of time so you don't get completely distracted from MP :) Good luck with whatever you decide… can't wait to see your progress!
ReplyDeleteI think since Elegance is scheduled to be your next YOTA project that you should work on her, whilst your original YOTA project is out of action. Or work on Autumn (this is a selfish suggestion as it is my favourite wip of yours)
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day pick what you feel will make you the happiest!

what did you finally choose ? :D
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a new mini made by you but I can understand you want to go on with Autumn or another WIP :D
It depends on how long the thread takes to reach you....maybe you'll have time to do both :)
have a great weekend
xxxx
I would probably work on Majestic Peacock - it is looking gorgeous and I can't wait to see it finished.
