A journal of my crazy desire to complete one craft or creative project every day for one year.

Day 7: Storytime

Okay, so yesterday's project took me until the wee hours leading up to midnight - which is why you haven't seen a post yet today! I'm blaming it all on the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto being closed, and therefore taking us over an hour extra to get home to London yesterday. Arrggh!!

Anyway, I did indeed finish my biggie project from the last month or so - my Storytime cross stitch. Now, I'm responsible for the children and teen programming at my library, and one of my favourite programs is storytime. So, this project (once framed) will hang in my office. It's a really cute picture of a bear reading a book to a duck in a garden (looks better when you can see it - pictures coming next week!)

I would rate this project as difficult. Not because it is especially large, but there are a fair number of specialty stitches such as french knots, and lazy daisy stitches (which I really, really hate doing!). There are a lot of lazy daisy stitches in this project and I found them time consuming and annoying! Therefore, difficult in the frustration level, medium to difficult in the achievement level.

And so I slept in this morning and then tackled today's project...
