I think your problem is a common one. We all try to do too much and overextend ourselves.
This just makes us frazzled and upset and takes some of the joy away from family
celebrations. I've finally learned (after many years struggling with this issue) to just keep it
simple and start really early. Christmas stockings should probably be stitched in July.
Christmas will come whether you get them finished or not. Make one for your DGS who lives
with you and tell the others that if they like them, you will be stitching more for next year. I
made quilts for all my nieces and nephews this way. I gave them out as I finished them.
They all knew that they would get one but I couldn't finish them all at once and I wasn't storing them until the last was done. It took me four years to finish eight quilts but I did get done!
