Do you mean thinking? Your work so far is lovely! Keep it up! And please show us your progress! I could never do that!

Lorraine Simon 06-27-2012 08:08 AM

You sound like me. Take on more than I can really do. But when I start something like this project I'm all gun-ho and don't see the intense and length of time it will take.

buddy'smom 06-27-2012 08:08 AM

OPPS!! yes that is it, thank you. You could do it, funny I always said oh I can't do this or that and a very dear friend of mine once told me, you can do any thing you set your mind on doing. She has passed on and I miss her so, but she'll always be in my heart.

It IS really pretty! And it will be beautiful when it's all done. Plus, start now & give yourself plenty of time to work on it at your leisure (unlike me who ALWAYS waits until the very last possible minute & then has to really haul hiney to get it done... LOL!).

paulettepoe 06-27-2012 09:15 AM

what do you use to color in the bulbs? crayon? or something else? This is very pretty. I hope you continue to share your progress.

cjackaitlin 06-27-2012 09:31 AM

Nice work, it will be lovely when it's finished. Rome as they say was NOT built in a day. Keep up the great work you are doing. If you get bored, go on to something else for awhile. Then back to it, it will be finished before you know it. Thanks for sharing what you have done is it awesome.

buddy'smom 06-27-2012 09:35 AM

They are done in different colors, I'm going by the color chart. I'm using 120 box of crayloa crayons. Thank you.

You will love it when it is finished. I always keep some hand embroidery by my chair to work on while I watch TV or my hubby is watching something I do not care for. I usually have quilting projects, hand work going plus have a book I am reading.lol I think I just figured our why the house never gets cleaned good.

buddy'smom 06-28-2012 08:23 AM

Oh, I even keep something in my car to work on. Dr's appoinments run late sometimes so always have something handy.
