Good grief! That's a lot of prep!

No, I can't see the picture either.

That is a lot of prep time. I've never paid attention to how long that takes me. And I can't see the picture either.

The only reason I really paid attention is because while I was doing the thread - I watched 30 minutes of a DVR'd program, and then sat through 5 episodes of Law and Order before my husband got home from work (and spent until 6PM helping me finish

). Then the gridding - had a friend over until about 30 minutes before we usually go to bed, I was thinking it would take maybe 40 minutes to grid

Yea...I miscalculated a bit

Got a bit more done today...maybe I can even finish before December

Some had asked what this will look like, this is my friend's photo that I'm stitching

Originally had a black background....yea, that didn't work, so I kinda edited the photo

So, I did about 800 stitches today....just had to pull out about 600

Somehow I missed an entire block of blue within a huge block of white

I even tried to figure out how to fix it w/o pulling everything out

Oh well...I think tomorrow I'm going to stitch from a different point, and I'll go back to that point later

Lovely progress, sorry to hear about the

so sorry to hear that Mr

visited. I had to pull out at least that many stitches on a piece I finished early this year because I had used the wrong color stitching a huge color block. So annoying and that was in a tent stitch so took half the time a full x would have. Don't blame you for stitching a different part for a while.
