Where in the White Rabbit


I was reading my scriptures the other day and came across "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass". It made me think of my project. I am taking small steps every week to get my project done and in the end I hopefully will have a great work of art to hang on the wall. One can hope right? I figure optimism is the only solution to avoid giving up.

I am slowly adding stitches to the project. I noticed last night that a stitch is in the wrong place. It should be to the left one. There actually should be a yellow stitch in it's place, not the bright red stitch that is currently occupying that square. Of course this was a stitch I made awhile ago. Now the question is do I try and snip it out without disturbing the other stitches with the same thread, or leave it be? Wes says if you step a few inches back you will never notice it. I worry of course I will always notice it and that it will ruin the shape of one of the hearts.
Oh well. I am sure I will solve the issue soon. Here is where I am currently on the project.



Here is where I was before. So as you can see some progress is being made :)

Well onward an upward. I can only get more done from here!

Where in the White Rabbit?

There is a great saying from Confucious which says "It does not matter how slowly you go as long and you don't stop". That has become my inspiration for my project. I have spent evening hours after work and weekends working on my cross stitch project. When it is done I will have a beautiful, White Rabbit to hang on my daughters wall. The finished project is VERY LARGE. We're talking more than 2 feet big!
After about two weeks of work this is where I am. Slowly things are starting to fill in and take shape. I really enjoy doing it and it is exciting to see things coming together slowly, but surely.






Can you see where I am in the picture? I am not giving up and will continue to update the blog as things progress. Wish me luck!
