Spirit of Christmas 100 hours

I've been putting a lot of time into this piece and the time committed is finally starting to pay off. My goal is to have him finished by the end of January. I'm not sure if I will be able to accomplish my goal, but I'll not go down without a fight. I'm really very pleased with how much I've accomplished so far and if I can find some time to put needle to thread today I might make another good dent in him.

This piece is my oldest WIP dating back to July 2004 so it's about time to get him put to bed.

Spirit of Christmas

I've been working on this piece for 2+ years now. I'm nowhere near to finished, but I'm still plugging away. I've moved this piece up in my rotation to be my focus piece. It seems to be working, but only when I can find the time to dedicate to my stitching which isn't very often anymore. If it wasn't for work I'd never get any stitching done... how pathetic is that?! So without further adieu here is my most recent progress pic ~ 90 hours (forgive not cropping or cleaning it up at all).
