I don't really object to any of those things... although I confess that once I've decided to begin a piece, I am impatient to get the bobbins wound! But long ago, I learned to just wind lots of thread on those bobbins, because I can re-use them over and over again without having to do a lot of winding. I'm working a project now that was wound two projects ago! (probably two years ago...?). Tallies are my friend now, and the joining is exciting.
One thing you may want to add to the list is mounting the lace (when appropriate), as in a handkerchief.
