Two progress shots in one day. I must be motivated. I did run out of the current goldish brown thread, but I had a shade in my stash that matches it nearly perfect. See if you can figure out where I switched shades. Tee hee!

All done. Yes, I know it took year to get it done and it's definitely not in time for Christmas, but at least it got done. I view hobbies as projects with no deadlines. It makes everything so much easier. Cheers!
