I just finished assembling the big banner I was making for church - due
date tomorrow for All Saints Day. I'll meet the pastor at church to hang
it later today.
I started it in July, and have worked almost exclusively on it since
early August, and boy, am I anxious to look at something ELSE for a
change! I usually have a lot of things in rotation, and doing just one
thing start to finish (okay, I did "cheat" and do a Halloween ornie for
DNs - but did that during travel time when large banner wasn't
appropriate to work on) was getting really old, if you know what I mean.
The result was beginning to be more important than the process, which
takes a lot of the fun out of it. I've been calling it the "death"
banner since it'll be used for funerals...but it was beginning to feel
like, "This'll be the death of me yet!"
I will get photos ASAP of this one and the matching one I did last year
and put them on RCTNP.
Now I don't know quite what I should pick up. Too many choices, LOL!

OOO -- do I know what you mean. I was that way when I stitched
EarthDancer for the charity auction -- IAYP! It's also one of the
drawbacks of model stitching, especially for one of the magazines.
Having a deadline -- especially one that is only weeks away -- takes a
lot of the excitement out of stitching. Of course, with model stitching
there is the $$$ to look forward to, even if it isn't all that much.
Anywhoooo -- looking forward to seeing some photos of the finished

work :-). Congrats on finishing in time & CiaoMeow >^;;^<
