The month of July shall be known in my memory as the month that I worked much and stitched little. This page seemed to take me forever to complete. I started on June 23 and finished July 16 - a total of 7600 stitches.
Honestly, the monochrome color is hard to stay interested in, and I know that the 2nd half of this project is all water and tail. I actually had the very strong urge to start another project, but I am firm when I told myself that I couldn't start any new projects until I had a finish. So I will have to grit my teeth and persevere. I know when this is done, the water will have all been worth it, and to my benefit, there isn't much confetti when it comes to the water. It's just relatively easy, but boring colors. First world problems, indeed!
Now I am off to work on my little owl, who, by the end of this page, will have one very stern eye glaring at me!
I will hopefully have an update for you somewhere toward mid to late August.
See you all then!
