I’ve started doing it again. It’s a great way to spend rainy and snowy afternoons inside. It’s still crazy small, but with good light and my mom’s magnifying thingy I can still do it without hurting my eyes.
It will be a while until I can finish this goal, I’m about 1/6th finished – it’s huge! (and with the tiny stitches, you can imagine that it will take a while)
Anyway, I’m doing it now, that’s what’s important.

I love, love, love doing needlepoint. I’ve done numbers of them over the years, and usually it doesn’t take me that much time to do. But this one I’m working on now is a biatch. It’s crazy small, and it’s in black and grey.
But I’m going to borrow a magnifying thingy from my mom, so I’m hoping it’s a bit better after that. It’s beautiful either way, and I can’t wait to finish it.
This is the needlepoint I’m working on. It was a watercolor that I loved. i asked the artist to paint it on canvas for me and she did. She also paints needlepoint canvases. It cost me an arm and a leg and I really love how it’s coming out, but it’s 24 count canvas and 12 X 18 inches. I really hope I can finish this.

Spent a few hours working on this project tonight. Once I pick it up, I get really into it.
