It only took 4 years.....
....for me to finish a piece of needlework.
Here it is:
A close up of the top:
the middle:
and the bottom:
This is the Mystery sample, which concluded after 15 parts, in December 2006 in the Embroiderers Guild of America publication Needle Arts. And it is done. Finally. I started it in 2005. I guess I had a 7 year itch to get 'er done.
At some point I'll write about why I gave up needle work for 4 years. Tonight isn't the night.
Thanks for stopping by.

Bent Creek Big Zipper Part 4
Bent Creek Big Zipper Part 4
Originally uploaded by solslett.
Since I am suffering from "knitter's" elbow (that's just so wrong), I am forced to look at other outlets for my boundless creativity. The segment of my artistic life that has been sorely neglected for many years now is the needlework portion. I took a break from photo organizing and printing to work on this on Sunday. I finished the top section, known as Part 4. It felt mentally good to get something done. Physically - boy my back hurt by the end of the night. I am so out of practice. I've forgotten how little TV watching there is compared to TV hearing!

Happy Valentine's Day
Today, my Valentine and I are celebrating 20 of these holidays together. We had our first date on Valentine's Day 1992. It was a Friday. The weather had been atrocious. It had been raining all week and I kept leaving the sunroof open on the Jeep. All that set aside, something very wonderful started that night. I'm looking forward to another 20!

Sunday Quote
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
Vince Lombardi
Congratulations Giants on the win in Super Bowl 46. At least it was close and for once the game was more enjoyable than the commercials.

Back to Basics
I think I want to try to blog on a daily basis again. We'll see how long I last. I had a format that I followed back in 2008 when I tried to Blog 365, which lasted until mid year when my world blew up a little. Besides no one said that you had to start on January 1st for it to count.
The difference between now and then is that there is a smart phone in the mix from which I can send updates. That should make it easier. We shall see.
