I am finally working on book mark 4 of 4. It's turning out pretty well so far. It'll probably take me 8 to12 more hours of stitching before it is done. I usually stitch for 1 - 2 hours at a time, while I have good natural sun light. I prefer not to stitch using artificial light, but when I do, I use this really cool, bright Ott light. But it's still a little hard on the eyes.

Anyway, here's a shot of me stitching while sitting on my sofa with my legs covered with a green blanket. I took this picture myself so you'll only see my right hand pretending to stitch. Next time I'll have someone else take a picture of me stitching or I'll be sure to use the lil timer feature of my camera and prop it up on something. I could have had a better shot if I weren't wearing house clothes and a scarf on my head :) So, all you get is my right hand and my work in progress.

The stitches I've already done are with a light blue thread and a tan thread, so they don't show up in the photo well at all. I'd say I'm about 10% into the piece. I'll take another shot when it's about 50% done.
