Wish I could!  I love counted cross stitch to look at but have never

I've probably finished hundreds of projects. This is one I bought at
last 17 years ago, don't think I've stitched on it in at least 8 --
that's too late to be a WIP (work in progress) or a UFO (unfinished
object), it's now a TNO (totally neglected object) <grin> There's
nothing intrinsically wrong with it, my tastes have changed :)

Isn't that always the way?  I have several finished, framed TIAG
patterns completed and hanging in  my home.  But  my tastes have
changed.  So now some of them are looking for new homes, and others
are looking at going back into the storage closet.  A few I'll still
keep up because I love them no matter what for the memories involved,
even if the actual design itself no longer appeals.  (For example,
without knowing the title, I picked up the pattern for her Angel of
Hope the day I was diagnosed with a brain tumour.  I'm now 13 years
cancer free, and have totally moved on from the 'country angel' style
of design, but AoH will always have a place in my home!  I hope who
ever 'adopts' your TNO will enjoy it!

I have DreamCatcher hanging on our living room wall (I still enjoy
looking at it). On our next trip to WDW (less than 2 weeks!!), we're
meeting friend from the UK. They just bought a cottage AND he is
really "into" American Indians, so we're thinking about taking it to
them as a house-warming gift.

I stitched Angel of Love for DA a couple of years pre-stroke, 2002?
2003? I received the pattern from a friend who bought it before she
was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000, Cathy sent it to me in 1999?
2000? Anyway, it hangs in DA's living room. And the friend, Cathy,
died from metastatic brain cancer two weeks ago today -- it will most
likely hang in our home after DA passes. Even though I'm not into
angels.

Well, I have my fingers crossed that someone will want/like her...
