It encourages me to finish projects in my stash and yet allows me to still acquire new items with minimal guilt.  I am going to try to limit myself to the purchase of <strong>one<\/strong> new chart or kit after each successful completion of a 10 project challenge.  I think that&#8217;s pretty reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>I made the official start date May 1st, since I have not actually purchased any new charts since my trip to Shepherd&#8217;s Bush in Utah in March.  Okay, well, I purchased a Story Keep chart from Heaven and Earth Designs the other day&#8230;  But, considering the massive amounts of temptation sitting at my fingertips due to the inception of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onestarslight.com\" target=\"_blank\">One Star&#8217;s Light<\/a>, I think that I have been an <em>awfully<\/em> good girl!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had 6 finishes since May 1st, so I only have 4 more projects to go before I get a reward.  Yippee!  I think I&#8217;ll be able to do that sometime this month and then buy one of the charts that is calling me with its sweet, siren song.  \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your input!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s official.
