Ramblings and an Anniversary Gift

I am working on an anniversary gift for my DH's grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary. It's all cross stitch so I am hoping to finish it by the end of August. We are going to California to celebrate with them and I'd like to have it framed and ready to go way ahead of time since the week before we go to visit his grandparents I will be at the Shepherd's Bush Retreat. I let my DH choose the piece it's Homespun Samplar's Wedding Band. If I could stay away from the computer I might get more done, LOL.

I spend way to much time surfing and piddling on my laptop and I need to be a bit more disciplined about how I am using my time. I know I can't be the only one who has this issue? I have so, so many projects I'd like to do but I can't seem to stick to a rotation. I haven't got much done this year in general, the problem seems to be a lack of focus. I tend to skip around from project to project and I am not actually finishing very many pieces. So I've kitted several projects and they are neatly packed in my stitching bag, my new rule is I have to finish two before I can add anything to my project list.
