From Max in the Adirondacks

I started this Max in the Adirondacks cross-stitch project in 2004. The first summer that I was home in 2004, I took this back and was working on it (off and on) for three months. I like Max in the Adirondacks because the cat and fishing gears remind me of my dad.

At times I wondered why I chose this extremely elaborate and difficult piece. It seems it’ll never get done. After that summer, when things got busy at school, I put it aside and sort of forgot about it.

I pulled it out several days ago and started to work on it again. I guess the frustration of not being able to get things done for my dissertation makes me want to do plug away at something, anything, just to see something being completed.
