Do you tend to put deadlines on your crafty projects? Or do you enjoy starting and stopping and finishing whenever?

I work a lot with deadlines, because a lot of what I make is for Nerdopolis (a crafting competition with rounds a month long) and I'm trying to finish in enough time to submit the items. I have so-so luck with this! Earlier this year I made a list of my WIPs and a good many of those were failed Nerdopolis projects, lol. I always start with good intentions, but then Things Happen and the month gets away from me.

I am still crocheting with laser focus on the poinsettia. The petals are DONE as of last night! The pattern designer made 7 leaves, but I'm aiming for 5, partially because my hands can't handle any more and partially because I want to put it all together at Stitch Club tomorrow and there's not enough time to make more leaves.

I already had 1 leaf done. Today I've made 2 more. I have scheduled myself for one more today, and one tomorrow morning before Stitch Club which will get me to 5. It's only 3:30ish pm here so plenty of time to crank out one more today!

Sounds like a lot has been done. Go you! And good luck with one more leaf.
