Many stitchers are planning on participating in a new stitching challenge for 2011. The challenge is called something along the lines of "The Crazy 15 Challenge for 2011." Each participant is to choose 15 brand-new projects and start one of the 15 on each of the first 15 days of January, thus giving her 15 WIPs which she is to work on and finish during 2011.
I am NOT participating in this challenge. Having 15 WIPs would send me over the proverbial edge. I can barely tolerate having two or three WIPs, much less 15. And I recently acquired a UFO which is vexing me sorely.
As many of you know, I have a BAP that I am supposed to be stitching for a family member. It recently became a UFO as it was driving me nuts. As I am generally a one-at-a-time stitcher, I had planned to work on this BAP until I finished it. Instead, I only managed to make myself thoroughly and completely sick of it and ended up chucking it into a corner. I may work on it some in the future, but if I don't, I'm not gonna stress over it. My hobby is supposed to bring me happiness and joy. The BAP was causing me to avoid stitching, so clearly, a change was needed. I highly recommend corner chucking for relieving stitching stress. ;-)
I finished my oldest nephew's Christmas ornament. I finally settled on making him a biscornu. I found a small car motif in a Donna Kooler book and stitched it in four different colors on the front. I stitched the word "zoom" on the back.
Next I am stitching a beagle dog for a quilt. The I35 Stitchers are making a quilt for a friend who is battling cancer. Our buddy Georgia will be taking our stitched squares and making them into a real, live quilt.

That ornament is so cute. You did a great job.
As for having 15 WIPs?! Uh...no...ain't gonna happen. Like you, it would drive me TOTALLY nuts (and lets not forget the stress of 15 unfinished projects)!
