I haven't posted here in an embarrassingly long time, so it is only fitting that my first post back be about a project I also haven't worked on in an embarrassingly long time. :D
I started this cross stitch way back in Jan. 2012 (yikes!). It is a birth zodiac sampler for my oldest daughter. She turned 5 this year. I am just a bit behind. I have a cross stitch from the same pattern book that my mom made for me. I have always loved it and am trying to make them for my kids. Trying being the key word there. In 18 months I have finally finished half of the outside flower border.
Half of what I have done I did back in 2012 and the other half I did in the last week or so. It is coming out so pretty! I hate working with the metallic floss I am using in the gold and silver borders though. Blah. Good thing it looks super nice in person.
I have a feeling progress on it is going to stop for a while again though. I just found a super cute woodland sampler project. I got all my supplies over the weekend, so that is what I am starting on today. :)

Yay, I'm glad you are posting! I think that the sampler is looking so nice. Good work because that's one heck of a project. P.S. I too hate working with the metallic floss! Why does is it have to be so difficult?
