Wow! And that's just the first page???
Yep, Page 1 of 28 (eeeek!).
That's why it's going to take about 3 years to finish, and that's if I don't take any extended (as in more than a week or two) breaks from it. I always do one project at a time, unless I feel like working on Christmas ornament kits to give as gifts--since those are usually two-day projects each, they give me a nice little mental vacation from a big project.
My last project was mostly done when I realized that I just couldn't face working on all of the beading that was needed to complete it. So, I put it aside for "a bit." Turns out that "bit" was two years. Oops? I felt really guilty about that, especially after I picked it up again and found out I only needed two weeks to finish it off. Oh, well...
