I seldom find something I really, really want. I shouldn't spend the money, but then there's that $600 rebate check from the government due in a short while.

Sooo - after a bit of anxiety, I decided to start with a finish. Since this blog will be mostly about my passion for cross stitch, here is my first finish of the year.

Here is Penelope and the Suitors by John Waterhouse. The artwork was charted by Fine Art Cross Stitch.
