My Current Rotation

Cross Stitch Update

 Today I'd like to introduce you to my rotation.

  But first, let me explain how I choose what to stitch on everyday. I use a lottery system, mostly because I have a lot of wip's right now, and partly because I'm terrible at making decisions. I used to spend so much time agonizing over which one to stitch on. It also means that I spend a good amount of time on all of my wip's, not just the ones that are calling to me. I have gotten two finishes since I started using this system at the beginning of the year.
  I have seen some Flosstubers using an app, but my Mother and I thought that this would be much more fun after seeing Sitchin' Mommy use a similar system on her Flosstube channel for her Arbitrary August videos. The only day that I don't use the lottery is on Sunday. I stitch on whatever is calling to me on Sundays.
  I used eight glass beads- the kind you buy at the dollar store- and labeled them A through H with a Sharpie. Then I dumped them in a small Tupperware, assigned a letter for each of my wip's and wrote the names and corresponding letters down on an index card. Shake the Tupperware, close eyes, draw a bead and... Voila! A lottery system. To make sure I don't stitch on the same project two days in a row, I take the bead out of the Tupperware as I draw them.
  There is one bead that I labeled Wild Card. When I draw Wild Card, I can stitch on anything I want to that day. It also means I can start something new if I want to!
