Red Sky At Night


When I was young, my mother gave me a starter stitchery kit. Over 20 years later, I finally finished mine. Guess she was right not to buy me another one until I finished the first.


As you can see, the copyright is for 1977. While I got it a few years after this date, it's clearly still been waiting awhile to be finished.


Thankfully, I still like the design. And given how long it's been in a bag, it definitely deserves to be on display. While tradition may dictate hiding the edges and copyright, I think the unfinished look adds to its charm.


Finishing this one actually made me desire to start another one, but given my track record on how long it takes to complete them, I think I'll stick to other forms of creativity for now.
