cross stitchin' away

I started this sometime in early May, just around the time of horse show distraction I think, and haven't shared it yet. I'm in the midst of a fun and sassy cross stitch project that I found in one of the books I checked out of the library this Spring. Most of the stitching has been in the latter half of June. 

Getting through the lettering and one complete plant feels like I am no in the homestretch. The problem is that whenever I want to work on it, it's evening, and I can't see the stitching as well as I can during the day. I used to wonder at my mom when she said "I can't do light colors at night". Ummmmm. I get it now. Darn.
