Doing some more work on the greenhouse. I have a page and a half left before it's finished. I think it's going to be done at least for Halloween. Frame might take longer.

How has your week been? Anything to show off?

I just now realized what this piece reminds me of! It looks like it would be in a scene from that old Sierra PC adventure game Gabriel Knight that I was obsessed with when I was like 12 or 13 years old lol it was set in New Orleans and had all kinds of colorful backgrounds in the different scenes

Oh my gosh, I never played that particular game, but I totally get the old floppy disk game vibes. I want to start clicking around the scene looking for things every time I see it.

I can hear Tim Curry's voice now. You're right, the scene reminds me of Gabriel Knight too

I love the cute little owl! This is an ambitious piece!

It's an elf owl. Really tiny fella, lives in cacti and woodpecker holes.

Watching you stitch this really has been surprisingly educational!

It's part of why I love this pattern. It comes with a booklet and a short description of everything that's involved. I learned so much!
