I can so relate to you and how you feel. Even this Christmas time got away with me and I didn't get things finished; started yes, finished no. The first thing that I'm going to do is finish the things that take the smallest amount of time to do. This way the stack will get smaller, faster and I'll not feel so overwhelmed. Then I'm going to finish the Christmas stuff so that I can pack it away with the other Christmas decorations or give it to the person intended and again my stack will be shorter. I'm not buying any more embroidery designs or starting any more projects until I'm caught up. This being said, my embroidery club starts back up this month so I'll do that so that I'm learning as I go and most of the projects can be done in one night. Its' when I changed the project around that I get into trouble. Like a tablerunner from one class got linked to placemat from another and I decided that I should make enough for a matching set. See how I make it grow, instead of just finishing the one mat I make more. Most of my projects that will get done first are embroidery so I'll be able to clean and organize my sewing room as I'm changing threads. I'm also not buying any more fabric until I get pretty much caught up. I have a few quilts that need batting and backs and quilting done so that'll come after I get my embroidery done. If I tackle the large projects first then I'll get overwhelmed again because it just looks like so much to do. Small steps and small projects will make for small stacks. That I can handle.
