Done and not-so-done
Finished up the grad school seal over the weekend.
Wasn't difficult, I just had to finish the fill-in of the gold color around the outer circle, then do the backstitching on the book. As I was putting it away for now, I took some pictures of the other things I've completed over the years and filed them away in a cross stitch album on Flickr. Most are in desperate need ironing, but I don't think we brought the apartment sized ironing board with us, and I know I haven't bought one, so it ain't happening yet. I immediately delved into another long-delayed project, a copy of a Tiffany window, the View of Oyster Bay. I have a good chunk of the black outlining done, and assorted bits of color where I got tired of all black at various times of working on it. I think this one dates back to college, so early 1990s. And I know I'll start and finish other projects before that one is done, but I'm determined to get 'er done at some point.

That view of Oyster Bay is an ambitious project! I love Tiffany's window, and took a photo of it the last time I was at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. I turned it into a puzzle online a while ago: https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=357615e38340
Tiffany's mansion in Oyster Bay is gone. It burned many years ago. I grew up in nearby, Huntington, just east of Oyster Bay.
I have spent a lot of time doing puzzles online during this pandemic.
