Over 25 years in the making 😅

I started this project in the 1990s when I was a teenager, though I don't remember exactly when. I probably put it away when I left for university and then forgot about it. I found it about 10 years ago, and have been working it on and off since then (normally I prefer to work on my quilting projects). I finally put in the last French knot today!

It definitely has that 90s feel about it. Super cute in a goofy way.

As someone born in the 90s, constantly making this mistake: aren't this roughly 35 years in the making?

Aside from that: this is looks very clean and like a lot of work. Well done! :)

Thanks! The swaths of the same colour made it pretty boring to stitch, part of why it took so long (and there are definitely mistakes in there).

I was debating whether I should put in 25 or 30 years cause I believe I got it in the mid to late 90s (that's when I really was into cross-stitching), but I didn't want to exaggerate 😆
