The landscapers made a valiant effort, but they had to plant grass around a dog and two rabbits who took up residence in the yard.
Fingers are crossed that the front lawn in completed today.
I was reading a description of an involved project on a designer's web page, and she mentioned that it would provide hundreds of hours of stitching pleasure. Hundreds of hours? I said to myself. Heavens, really?
Well, yes, some projects take hundreds of hours, although, in my state of self-delusion, I always underestimate how much time anything will take me to stitch. However, when there are big blocks of color in cross stitch, I will admit that it begins to feel like hundreds of hours. This is the last such area on this sampler, though--I go on to a bunch of smaller motifs for the bottom third of the sampler. And that's the part I'm really looking forward to.
Your lawn is looking good. Solid chunks always seem like they take longer to me as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't really want to know that a project will take me hundreds of hours, because then I will think that I will never have the hundreds of hours to work on the project, not to mention keeping focus on a project for that long!
ReplyDeleteI bet you enjoyed stitching around the dog and rabbits .
