[message] => Hi everyone,
I have finally completed my cross stitch project after 19 years. I started it when I was 10 for my mum, intending to give it to her the following Christmas and I guess life got in the way and I never finished it. I would just pick it back up every few years and do a little bit but this year I decided that I was going to finish it and have now become quite obsessed with the craft altogether as I look forward to the evening when I can spend some hours doing it. So I would like to know about any of your stories on how long it took you to complete projects, if you feel like sharing of course :-)

Has anyone ever taken as long as me to finish a craft project?
Hi everyone,
I have finally completed my cross stitch project after 19 years. I started it when I was 10 for my mum, intending to give it to her the following Christmas and I guess life got in the way and I never finished it. I would just pick it back up every few years and do a little bit but this year I decided that I was going to finish it and have now become quite obsessed with the craft altogether as I look forward to the evening when I can spend some hours doing it. So I would like to know about any of your stories on how long it took you to complete projects, if you feel like sharing of course :-)
