The book title backstitch was done by my SO.

This one is getting framed and hung right next to the bathroom door!

After more than an hour of painful attempts at french knots with slippery polyester on polyester, I did the little black dots on the snout with half stitches and a couple of extra strands. Do I recommend polyester cheap kits? Yeah, they're fun. Would I do it again? Probably, but only because I bought two, and that one is left in the backburner for now.

I can hear the apathy dripping from your every word, haha. On the bright side, the greenhouse is waiting to welcome you back with open arms 😄

Hopefully one day soon you'll forget the tedium of all that blue and be able to fully appreciate the cuteness of the finished piece. Love your SO's contribution! It's little touches like that that make a project special.

Thank you, that's so kind! I admit, I mostly enjoyed working on it. I know I complained a lot about certain things but it was a fun project!
