forest_choirWe had a very quiet, uneventful weekend.
The weather was cold and we got a little snow (which melted by the end of the day). I think Mother Nature delivers these little dustings to remind us that there is beauty even in the dead of winter.
I holed up in my room and worked on my needlepoint (while under the blankets!). Hobbes joined me quite a bit of the time; two chilled creatures sharing the warmth and watching the wind outside.
By Sunday evening, I had finished the background of the piece, after four weeks of stitching.
I'm a bit in love with this design.
Stormy and I have been giggling like 8-year-olds for the past few days. I've been stitching the background from right to left ('cause my brain is wired strangely) and when telling him where I was in stitching the design, I'd say "Unicorn bum!" in a silly Potter Puppet Pals voice. It's helped me keep my sense of humour when the intricacy of the pattern was getting to me.
Last night, I filled in the last four flowers and completed the thin blue border around the piece. It's looking much more "finished", even in this state of completion. Next stop: spotted unicorn!
