Maybe the problem is setting yourself that deadline.
Maybe you've kind of took the pleasure out of it by making yourself think of having to get so much done by a certain time and thinking/worrying about the final deadline in your mind.
Maybe if you just forget about deadlines and say to yourself, that you're stitching purely because you like the design and that it doesn't matter when it's finished, it might help.
Then take a little break and come back when you feel like trying again. Don't put yourself under pressure.
There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE! Forget love! I'd rather fall in CHOCOLATE!

Thanks for the advice hun and I will take this on board Ill just do it when I feel like it because I dont want to mess up and see how it goes
Great advice TB I think there's nothing worse than looking at a project as a "chore". We have to enjoy it or put it away and look at something else. As TB said, forget the deadline and maybe if you're not "feeling the love" pick up the garden swing for a bit because it's much more summery and "uplifting"

Ok guys this one is going on hold now until next christmas, I just dont have enough time to finish it at all this year so it gives me something to look forward to
Oh I agree with everyone else it is a fabulous piece don't spoil it for yourself by making it a chore. Good for you for only stitching if you are in the mood too. I have two projects on the go that are gifts with deadlines (thankfully I still have plenty of time. I am definitely not in a stitching mood at the moment so know exactly how you feel!
