63 items to go

I am 63 items deep into an WIP pile. I seriously somehow had 62 items that were in progress and I decided to start a new one. Some of these projects I started so long ago they don't even fit anymore. I actually started working on dealing with this pile back in August by making vlogs for myself, but I stopped after completing a handful of things, and went back on my BS. Then I saw Vincent Briggs' blog about his Pile and I am now motivated to work on mine again. 

As for what I'm counting as a wip...everything counts. This includes: things I have bought the fabric for and already have it planned out in my mind palace, thrifted clothes that I bought to fix but never did, things I started, got stuck and undid it but I still want to make (this is usually a yarn project), and then all the usual suspects after that. After gathering it all I cataloged everything on a spreadsheet to help organize myself with notes on what needed to be done, what craft it is what % done it is, and even what color it is.

Stats:

Over 50% of my wips are alterations...white cat sweating and thinking with a spiral floating by its head

Alterations: 34

Crochet: 6

Cross stitch: 1

Etc: 1 

Needlepoint: 1 

Knitting:  4

Sewing: 18

# at 80+%:  10

# at 0%: 17

I will use an RNG to generate 2 items to work on*. 

When I finish one project I will roll another number. (If it turns out I start ignoring a project I will start waiting until I finish both projects and re rolling then.) 

The only other thing I'll dismiss is if I need to buy something that's significant to the structure of the piece. But then I'll buy it that day and chose another number.

If I need to buy something minor like lace, I will buy it asap & start working on the rest of it.

If one of the projects I got brings me dread, I will consider scrapping for parts instead. Hesitance is weakness. (emoji here)

I will be blogging here about my projects to keep my motivation up! (with the tag ufocountdown)

I will determine this number at a later date but I will not be starting any of my 0% projects (I will be adding these to the rng to be pulled when I've completed a certain number of projects)
