Not that anyone cares …. but here is the Twin Peaks owl I was working on framed and ready to gift.

A&A really liked it. Like, liked it to the point that it was hung on a wall in their house immediately. That made me smile.

I have been debating what to stitch next and decided to drag out the kit I bought back in 2004. When I started having really bad anxiety attacks, I bought this kit because I thought it would give my brain something to focus on other than being anxious. I worked on it for a few weeks and then got distracted by life. It stayed on the shelf for a few years, and I eventually did some more work on it. Then life happened again. It’s been on the shelf for the better part of 15+ years now, so I figured it was time to finally finish it. The fabric had become discolored where the hoop had been on for so long. So, I ended up soaking it, which pretty much took care of the issue. Now, the piece is dry, ironed, and back in the hoop for completion.

It should be interesting to finish this because the pattern calls for A LOT of backstitching and some cording (which I have never done). You can expect the occasional progress photo.
