It's been more than half a year, but I think my interest in stitching is finally coming back! I received a request to convert a few pictures into patterns and that seemed to spark me to picking up the needle again.
When last you saw the Jame's pattern it was July and I was here

And here's where I am today.

It feels good to be stitching again, but I still can't seem to look at it the way I used too. Used to be I never thought about the sheer number of stitches needed to make a picture...now that's all I seem to be able to think of ^_~
