Slow Stitching Sunday

  I have been working on this piece for many years.  I feel like it is finally finished.  I have completely enjoyed working on this piece.  I only use the last bits of thread that are on a needle.  I often have a bunch of needles like that on my desk.  When the pile gets big enough, I set to using up the thread on this piece.  I so enjoy this process. This is the second piece I have done like this.  It is so fun for me that I  have another one waiting in the wings.  I 'paint' the background with oil pastels.  They take a long time to dry, so I did one last year in anticipation of this one being finished.  Even still, I am sure that some oil pastel will come off on my hands when I start working on it, but it won't smudge noticeably.
