wiseheartThe - temporarily - last page of my Christmas-themed quiet book is finally finished... well, almost. Like the other 4, it isn't edged yet, and there might be some small corrections necessary where the numbers are concerned, but the bulk of the (tedious, boring, detailed) work is done.
This is a seventh quiet book I'm about to make, and never have I hated a pattern as much as this one. It appears to be so easy, doesn't it? Well, appearances might be misleading. All those tiny little parts, those microscopic red dots that I had to stitch on by hand, all the Velcro work - God, I'm glad it's over. I'll set this project aside for a while, since it doesn't have to be finished by this year's Christmas, and will do something different. Usually, my quiet books have 4 leaves, which means 8 pages, 5 of which are finished, save for the edging, so I can afford to take my time figuring out the design for the last 3.
The colours of the picture are almost true; the actual background is the more purplish shade that can be seen on the bottom. The top has got too much light or whatnot; it isn't really red.
Finishing the page was a gargantuan effort, so not much else was done today, save for a bit of rearranging food supplies and cooking which I shared with mum. But I'm ecstatic that the page is done, I truly am.
