So, I need to go rifling through my stack of WIPs\/UFOs and pull out what to focus on. I’ve already started by going through my storage bins and separating out new project kits from WIP\/UFO kits. I’ve also taken a quick glance at what I have outstanding. Of course, it’s always horrifying. And I did myself a favor and didn’t count this time (last time I had over 40 pieces and I’m pretty sure I’ve added a few since then). Today I looked through the photos in my Works in Progress photo album<\/a> to see what’s still an active project (WIP), what’s been completed, what’s been shelved (UFO) and what’s been abandoned.
