I took advantage of having to wait a couple hours for a minor car repair and thought I would just take it along and get it done!  That was a successful plan. No interruptions! Quiet waiting room and good, bright florescent light! And aside from not having a thimble to push that needle through many layers of material, it went well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_5791.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4342\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But Ooohh putting the whole thing together was FIDDLY! I felt like I could use about 4 tiny hands, for the legs especially as they kept wiggling out of position. In fact by that point, handling the thing felt like handling a real butterfly, it felt so light and delicate, and I was trying not to squish it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_5790.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4344\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I just love it. But if I were going to do anything else with it, I would add the proboscis.  If I can think of how to make one I might just add such a thing. I have always found it fascinating. My Jenny Adin-Christie butterfly has some quilling paper in the kit&#8230;I wonder if something like that would work? Or some kind of thing flat wire?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_5792-e1625812483134.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4343\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So there it is, et voila! Started January 1, and finished July 9.  I can hardly believe I made it.
