I don\u2019t even remember the last time I showed her on the blog even though I put a few stitches in here and there whenever I needed a good on-the-go project.

It made the trees look unbalanced. I used the wrong color gray on the center alphabet (mixing up Gunmetal and Galvanized\u2026sheesh!) but I can live with that. I showed it to Vickie (the designer) when she happened to come in at the Attic this week and she said \u201cLeave it! I like it that way!\u201d But I would have anyway. I didn\u2019t feel like redoing that much! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So back to mostly Monogamous May\u2026. I will still make a small\u2026the Stacy Nash birds\u2026and I hope to have a fabulous full finish.
