So anyways, I've been stitching, and since I was so excited to get on with her, I already finished the next ten hours on Lady Justice! It's been a few updates since you saw her, so here's a reminder of where we last left her:
Now during the new rotation, things moved pretty fast. First, I finished that part of bow on the right, which means I'm finally all done with the lower half of the chart (I made a working copy which is in two pages). Then, I moved on to her left hand, holding the sword! It's sparkly and huge but still stitched up very quickly. It also goes up almost to the top of her head, so we can really see her final dimensions now. Next, I stitched her belt (which leaves me with only one piece of blue floaty stuff left to do!) and made a start on her upper body, working up her right shoulder. So here she is now:
So in my next rotation, I will finish her upper body (no more green after that!) and make a start on her right arm with the scales and last bit of scarf. After that, it's just her head left to stitch! I'll also hit the hundred-hours-total mark during the next rotation (I'm at 95h now). I never though she'd take this long, but so far it hasn't been boring even for a moment :)

Lady Justice is looking amazing! Birthdays should be celebrated for the month, not just the day! I've enjoyed birthday months for about half of my life now. One day is too little when you start getting older.
Leonore: Happy Birthday, your Lady Liberty has such beautiful colors.
I look forward to seeing the progress.
Stay Healthy.

Great progress, it's certainly coming to life
Well first of all, ♪♪♪ Happy Birthday, Leonore ♪♪♪ I remember that you and my oldest son share a birthday. His was not the greatest either as he is still in Texas with his wife as they mourn the death of her mother. They plan on driving (not flying) back to California on Wednesday. Such a crazy time in our lives... Stay safe and keep on making that beautiful lady grow ♥
Wow you really have made a dent in her progress! Really great work :) I hope you are keeping well and managing not to stress too much. I spent the whole weekend avoiding the news and social media and it really made me feel much better. Still a little anxious but generally okay x
I think you need an official Birthday later in the year, like the Queen! You can share 23rd September with my son if you like? I'd remember the date!
Lady Justice is looking fabulous, she's growing well.
Belated happy birthday wishes! Fingers crossed that 2021 will be a year to make up for the disappointment of the last four years.
I'm loving all the blue floatie things but am now eager to see the top half of Lady Justice take shape. Afterall, the top half is what her name is all about! :)
