stitching progress

Playoff football and grand slam tennis might seem like odd bedfellows for a Victorian cross stitch sampler, but there you go. I've been making steady progress on this since I got going on it in November.

I took a break from it for the enormous bucket of holiday knitting I ended up doing this year, and it has been nice to pick it up again. I am almost done with the last items on the shelves and after that it's the actual shelf, some trailing ivy, and a LOT of backstitching to come.
