I have a wall-hanging of a cross-stitch that I did. It says:
I Know I'm Efficient.
Tell me I'm Beautiful.
It took me seven years to finish it.
(I hope the irony is not lost on my readers!)
Today I came across a jigsaw puzzle that I had started almost two and a half years ago. I had rolled it up in one of those "puzzle savers" when I needed to be able to use the dining room table for its intended purpose (as a dining room table). The puzzle had not seen the light of day since then.
I almost put it back in its box, but then I decided that I should finish it. It's one of those photo-mosaic puzzles, so it ain't easy! I'd already completed a good chunk.
I'm hoping that my mother will help me. I'm also hoping that my father doesn't steal a piece. (He likes to do that and put the piece in at the end and say, "I finished the puzzle.")
The completed puzzle will be a portrait of Marilyn Monroe. I enjoy her movies -- the funny ones, anyway. My favorite is, "Some Like it Hot." If you haven't seen it, then rent and watch it immediately!
