This is Pinky, finished, and waiting for Blue Bunny to join her:
It had been quite awhile since I had even looked at Blue Bunny, and in my mind I thought he was 1/3 of the way finished. In fact, I was thinking that I hadn't actually started the rabbit. Imagine my surprise when I pulled him out last night to show a friend:
As you can tell, these were not weekend projects by any means! Each square of the design is stitched--there is not one open square in the whole design. While I did start these when I was 16, there have been other cross stitch projects that I actually finished, and framed. I have a Bible verse with a garden scene, a little apple sampler for my kitchen, and the wedding cross stitch I made for Kevin's mom and her husband.
I will definitely finish Blue Bunny, and get both of them framed. I will venture to say, however, that my 16-year old tastes are a little different than my 29-year old tastes!

Oh, they're cute, Tammy! Do you think you'll find some use for them in your home, or will you give them away when they're finished?
Oh yes, I will use them! I still like them, I just don't *love* them like I did when I was 16! My plan is to finish the one, and get them both framed in the same frame. I don't know if that would be less expensive or not. But because of the size they are, I will HAVE to get a mat cut for them, so why not make it one mat with two holes?
*gasp* you are 29??!!! I thought you were MUCH younger!
