A Year Long Project







It took me many Monday painting sessions to get this box finally finished and I often wondered why Id started it.  The pattern was entitled Old Lady in a Shoe and was designed by Londi L Rowley CDS from her book The Merry Peasant Vol IV.  As a painting group we were all going to paint it but as the weeks went by I realised that if I didnt get on with it then it would never be painted as although the individual mice are charming a whole box full of them was too daunting for my fellow Monday Painters group.  Lucky for me Id picked up the box from a closing down sale some time prior to taking on this mamoth task, the design fitted it nicely so I set to painting.
