all i have to say is... i'm glad we're sisters.
i'm kind of bad about finishing my xstitch of momentary choice, but it's a lil different when it's for hubby. he tends to pester me a lot, especially when i'm trying to work on it.
and, for the record, it's counted. w/ about 50 or so colors.
if only your idea about the man room were true! he has this crazy plan that i'm going to paint it for him, then he'll put new flooring of some sort in and hang these things. sure, the flooring won't be an easy job, but it's his room. therefore, he should at least help paint. at least, that's how i see things.
