I haven't really stitched anything new! Instead I've just tried to stop buying as much stuff which is not rewarding.
So I decided regardless of how many projects and goals I have right now I'm going to start something new. Guilt free (or so I'm trying to tell myself)
I have picked a project that's not a "small" but likely to be a quick project and one I am stitching and had kitted up just because I love the design and the colors. No reason to do it except that I want to.
So here is the kitted up project from my stash. I didn't have to buy or reorganize anything; this project was ready to in my stash.
It's called "Metamorphosis" by Ink Circles (yep a Mel fave designer). I am using the exact Gentle Arts colors called for. The linen is a bit lighter and different. I can't remember exactly the brand it is but it's a 32-count linen.
I'm hoping this start helps curtail some spending. And maybe I can make "mini deals" with myself to stitch Dragons so much and then work on this as a reward.
Worth trying I figure!

Great idea Mel! After all, it's Stitch from Stash, not New Start Diet! Lovely new project, don't feel guilty, just enjoy it!
Lol...I love Justine's quip of a "New Start Diet" :D I've never been good at diets of any kind! Lovely little project choice
Lovely new projects my dear..
Yup don't feel guilty ..smile and stitch along :)
Hope this helps with the stash ban. It looks like a lovely project, enjoy and I look forward to seeing your progress.
Sounds good to me! Can't wait to see your progress. xx

Great new start choice Mel.

Great Choice - I love it!
Oh, I like this one and hope to do it myself some day! Enjoy stitching your 'new' stash!
Enjoy your new start! Whatever it takes I say! A new start always works for me, even when I know it'll end up on WIP Mountain!
Good on you!
Also, if you don't feel like working on dragons, don't. You'll probably come back to it later with renewed interest (I know it works for me).
Sounds like a good plan Mel, stitch whatever feels fun :) Looking forward to seeing your new project grow!
Best wishes.
You had a great idea to start something new! What a very beautiful design you chose. Love all the pretty colors. I had not seen this one before. So for me its new:))
Looking forward to seeing your progress. love Annette
Ciekawy projekt. Pozdrawiam.
Looks like a grand project - can hardly wait to see your progress.
