Back in the early 1980s I was working, a newlywed, enjoyed doing counted cross stitch, and loved Christmas. I saw this kit and it really caught my eye. It was needlepoint which was different but at the same time very similar to counted cross stitch. It took a while to make the decision to buy it and then it became one of those projects where I picked it up, worked on it for a while, and then put it away for a while. It became a true work in progress. 1984 came around and I became a mom and the needlepoint stayed in its drawer until...
2020.
Yep, 36 years later the pandemic shut the world down and there was lots of time todo some serious house cleaning - going through "stuff," doing some purging, and even finishing a long forgotten project. The frame completed the piece in July 2021.
And now, even though this is a "new" piece of Christmas wall art, it has become a favorite holiday tradition.
I love it! It's amazing how time flies, isn't it?
