New Project

I've not updated this week, because we've had problems with the internet. Appears there is construction going on and everyday something gets unplugged. Nothing too exciting happening in the Archibald apartment. I've found a new project though and I'm excited to have found this. I found a cross-stitch kit of a traditional Chinese painting. The lady that sold it to me was very nice and helpful. I've never done a cross-stitch this large (2ft x 1ft), so I was a bit apprehensive. She drew out the grids for me and marked everything. She even offered to lay out my threads for me. I assured her I could do that part. Here's a picture from the company's website.

Very detailed...it's going to take forever. Bliss already likes to help. He sits beside me and pulls the needle through for me on the up-stitches. Like I've said, I've never done a cross-stitch this detailed or large. I figured "why not give it a try." I thought I got it at a good price too, everything, including needles, for about $20. It should keep me busy for a while. It will make up for not reading, I guess.
