After a marathon cross-stitching session on Saturday afternoon (approx 5 hours straight!) I have finally finished the cross stitch on the Anemonies project. I completed the backstitch tonight, as I couldn't face looking at it after Saturday afternoon!
I am so pleased to have finally finished this project, as to be honest it has been lying unfinished in my workbox for around 18 months!! I think the reason I stopped working on it back then was because the key wasn't very clear and I got a bit confused about the mixing of colours (mostly in the greens and purples). It was good to go back to it with fresh eyes and probably a bit more stitching experience behind me which gave me the confidence to say 'that may not be completely perfect but it will look fine'. Such a lot of stress over such a small design ;-)
I have decided to keep this one, as it has been hanging around for so long. I think I'll frame it and keep it for when I have a bigger place to live.
I also wanted to say thank you to my first commenters on the post below. You definitely brought a smile to my face, and I'm pleased to see that I'm not the only stitcher who loses their motivation, or has loads in their stash that either needs finishing or starting!!
