160 hours later, and I’ve completed the Sparkly rainbow, the couple of angels, and most of the mountains.  I’ve also ran out of DMC 775 floss, that I desperately need more of.  Unfortunately, we’ve been snowed in at home, so I haven’t had a chance to get to the store to get more.  Anyhow, I’m really glad I got a majority of the stitching done that requires the blending filament thread: it’s ridiculously annoying to work with.

One more neat thing is that I scanned the pattern, and pieced all the pages together to create a MASTER PATTERN!! And since my husband’s work has a plotter (a huge printer for printing engineering documents), so he printed out my MASTER PATTERN!!

MASTER PATTERN!!

Now, I think I’ll take a break from the blues and purples of the mountains, I’ll start working on the browns of the ark, especially since I’ve run out of colors I need until the stores open after the holiday.
