Project Complete
Several years ago I bought a needlepoint project of sun/moon/stars thinking that I'd complete it for daughter Laura. There are two pictures about 5 x 5 inches. Yesterday, probably 5 years later, I finished it ! :) I just could not work on it for a long time. My fingers would get numb, I'd be unhappy with how it looked, etc. But I'm not a quitter :) So this week I decided no other projects would get in the way. This would get done. It's now in the mail to her. Wonder if it will still fit with her decor :)
I think my needlepoint days are over. It is such close, tiny work and doesn't seem to be as much fun as it used to. Once I made a crewel picture of Van Gogh's Sunflowers. It took me awhile to coomplete but finally it was done, stretched, framed and hung in our house for years. Daughter Renee wound up with that when we sold the house. I think that was my favorite needlework project of all time and it turned out pretty good:)
Now I feel free to begin some crocheting projects and also to start scanning the old negatives. We sorted all those out last week and I have a shoebox full sitting beside me ready to scan....plus 4 more boxes in the outside storage. These pictures start in 1979 and go through about 2001 when I really got into digital photos. I'm anxious to start on these because there will be a lot of young grandkids pix. Who knows what might appear on the family calendar this year!
