Adrift, Pages 5 and 6

Behold! I have finished the first line of pages.  


These are pages 5 and 6.  (Six was a partial page).

It has only taken me 6 months to get this first line done.  Mother of dragons, what the hell have I gotten myself in to?  6 pages .... of 42!   I'm going to be working on this piece for years!

BUT, the next page the mermaid makes her entrance. I'm excited to begin stitching that.

I still have my owl kitted up and ready to start, and I had intended to do a page of it as a break from all of the muted colors, but I'm so excited to start the mermaid that I think I will just soldier on.   I'll maybe take a break at the end of this row of pages.

In any case, enjoy!  I feel like I've accomplished something, even if it is only sky.

      "Already" HA! It feels like I've been working on her for ages and ages. I find it takes me approximately a month per page, depending on how much I'm working. When I work, I don't have time to even put one single solitary stitch in.

      The confetti is about to start in earnest now, so I will probably be slower in updating. But I shall carry on.... one stitch at a time.

      Oh, you and me both. This is the part that I've been looking forward to for 6 months. I can't wait to see her appear.

      Thanks Mii. I probably will break from Adrift somewhere in this row to do a page of the Winter Owl. He is so cute and so bright. I'm going to really need him to save my sanity, I think.
