Okay freaky dahlinks, I have a dilemma. It's stitching related, so all you needleartists perk up!
I used to stitch my projects one at a time, until I found the cross stitch bulletin boards and that ominous entity known as The Rotation. Well, 4+ years later, I'm still a horrible rotationer. I can't stick to one for anything, and when I do manage to attempt one I get overwhelmed; everytime I stitch on a project I think of how much I could be getting done on another if I just 'stuck with it'! That said, I do not want to abandon my projects altogether, but I can't really work on any more than 3 at a time. However, there are so many I want to stitch that I am having a hard time picking out my final rotation!
Actually, I only need two more to complete it, for I am going to continue with TW's Fantasy Triptych. I've changed the Eowyn/Faramir conversion to an Arwen/Aragorn, because the autumn conversion feels too much like Rivendell pre-War of the Ring. The castle panel was going to be converted to white, but I'm going to leave it the original colors to represent Rivendell, and Arwen's unicorn is now Asfaloth (I've had to "whiten" la horsie up a bit, and of course there will be sparklies!).
So...here are the choices for the rest of the rotation:
A Touch of Frost (I'll be doing a more modest version)
Cats
Serendiptiy
Silver Wood
Pearl Princess (another modest version)
Brid
Titania (without the background, though I wish I had the chart with the background for I love it!)
Snow Princess
Star Maiden
What two would you choose? Help!!!

Just to drive you even more crazy...
My rotation consists of one focus project and (at the moment) three short-cycle rotating pieces. I spend 3 weeks of the month working on the focus piece. The fourth week is what we call in one group "SPUFO" (Special Projects/UnFinished Objects) Week. And when I finish the focus, something else becomes the focus piece.
Given the number of WIPs you listed, you may choose to adapt. Maybe two weeks on your focus and one week on two of your other WIPs a month? It would mean that each of your other pieces would get one week every 4 months.
