TA-DA!

Well, it is finished! A little later than I had hoped as it was in the mail over the weekend, but my special project was finished late last night (by the 7/18 deadline, mind you) and dropped in the mail this morning. What a job! It wouldn't have been so bad if I had listened to my special project coach from the beginning and started with something a little easier. But, no. I had to jump right in with both feet and ears closed. About the end of June it became very clear that my first project would not be completed anytime soon so I scrapped it. That's right - started fresh on 7/1. But, boy did I have fun! And I think I have also found a new calling. I'd like to thank my dear husband who allowed me to get away with not doing any housekeeping for that time. He hasn't complained once that he had to shake inches of animal hair off whatever fell to the ground. He even was spotted helping on the special project to ensure that it was done on time. So, just what was this project? Well, here... Take a look.
Oh, come on now. Did you really think I was going to show you early? You just wait until it arrives in the mail. :)
