Page 1 Finished!

I finally finished page 1 of my HAED Colorful World!!!!! It took 53¼ hours spread out over 35 days - much longer than I had hoped. I was making good progress till I started the fundraising stuff at Alea's school (see previous post).
 
This is what it will look like when finished - I hope!
 

This is the front of page one.
 
This is the back of page one.
There are 24 pages total, but 4 of them are just narrow strips. At the rate I'm going it will take 2 years to finish. I just saw a pattern that said "She who dies with the most patterns isn't stitching fast enough" - I think that sums it up nicely LOL!
I also got in a little painting last month - these are some polyresin bunnies I bought over a year ago & never finished - cute little babies!

 
Next week I'll try to post pictures of Tall Sundae & Mermaid Heaven, my other 2 WIPs!
Until then, Happy Stitching & stay out of the mud - a sure sign that spring is on it's way!

    I think it is amazing you are finding time to stitch a HAED. Great work on the first page.

    Your HAED is coming along great. Don't get discouraged about it possibly taking 2 years to complete. I've never done one myself but from what I've heard, that is pretty normal. Even for fast stitchers.

    Your bunnies look like their real chocolate!!
