Nifty :)

It took her ages!

That's very pretty...I wouldn't mind living there, as long as I can put a hot tub in back.

How long did it take her? How many cms big is it?

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

It took her about 4 months, mostly done in the evenings while watching telly. It's 31cmx22cm

I'm sure ;)

I do stuff like that myself, and it's very long and laborious

Here's the last UberProject I finished.

It took a lot more than 4 months ;)

That is cool, mum!

Way cool! They do take a lot of work, but are worth the view in the end:D!
I really like the color scheme too.

My mom is the same way, and has produced many things over the years including
4 afghans, a baby bunting, and a massive macrame wall hanging that is still in
my parents living room. In her older age my mother has taken up quilting. I still
have and use my acrylic rainbow afghan:).

WOW

My hat goes off to your Mum, I know how long these things take..

Mum says: "I like that decorative border! And don't forget to iron it before you put it in a frame."

Beautifully Detailed!

Wonderful. I hope it's displayed in a manner that befits such a piece of work.

Theresa Wentzler rocks! I'm working on Rapunzel - might be done before I die, might not be.

It's absolutely gorgeous. Your mum does nice work.

*applause*

Nicely done! I crochet myself, and know the pleasure of evenings in front of the telly crafting an afgan while my favorite show plays on. Quite laborious, but worth it in the end.

It's been framed for months :) But yes, it was ironed before I framed it. Thank her anyway ;)

[odiedragon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I hear ya. Which is why I decided to just to the Pagan Princess by herself and not the Christian Crusader and that oh-so drab castle... She doesn't need his type in her life anyway! ;)

I'm working on The Storyteller currently and I'm actually about half done! Granted, it's taken forever to get that far ;)
