The one on the left was the one I just posted about.  I brought it in for framing this afternoon (and purchased supplies for a new project, of course).  I decided that before I started a new project I ought to just take a peek at the unfinished projects in my closet&#8230;and found the one on the right.  I had finished all but about 2 hours worth of ribbon embroidery on it 5 years ago.  Yes, you read that right, five entire years.  Now that&#8217;s some serious procrastination.  Why did I put it down with only 2 hours of work left?  Who knows &#8211; I might have had to finish something as a gift, or maybe it was just because I wasn&#8217;t very good at ribbon embroidery at the time, and it seemed very daunting.  How do I know it was five years ago?  I apparently was very optimistic.  The embroidery was at the top, and I always sign my pieces at the bottom.  So before I scrolled to the top to finish the wisteria, I signed it.  Maiden-name initials and everything.  I think I&#8217;ll leave it that way, anyway, because I don&#8217;t have the heart to re-sign it.  Unlike some of my unfinished projects that I don&#8217;t much care for anymore, I still love this one.  The sentiment reads, &#8220;Kind hearts are the garden, kind thoughts are the roots, kind words are the blossoms, kind deeds are the fruits&#8221;.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a very strange feeling to finish two big projects in one day.  Even if the second one was mostly done.  Very strange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I finished not one but two cross-stitches.
