Well, my craft to-do list has been finished of all the necessities- two copies of the Light World from 'A Link to the Past', one copy of the FF1 map (complete with dragon crest), one custom cross-stitch for my mom of some quotes from an antique door, and two baby blankets.

Time for mine.

I had a nine page pattern ready to go of a screenshot from Ecco, but just today found a much better program that made a superior pattern. It'll be a lot of work, between 75 colors of thread (with only a handful of carryovers from the others), and a piece of cloth that will be 24 by 16.5 or 19 by 13 inches, depending on the thread count and what I can find.

I'll try to post pictures when it's done, as this is a made pattern.

Checking in over a year later. I've been pretty busy, especially lately, but it's great to work on with anxiety. (Until you find a whole section that's off by one stitch and you have to tear it out, arghhhh...) Obviously, at 75 colors, it's a lot more detailed than the Sega CD image, but I still love it.

I wish I had the patience and artistic talent for something like this. That's awesome.

Since I have a baby blanket to make for my future niece of nephew, the cross-stitch is going to take a break. So I thought I'd show you guys another WIP picture. (Yes, that is a copy of the book version of Blue Planet 2 in the corner.)

I'm glad you're still working on it! I'm sure you'll come back to it later and finish.

See I wish I had the patience for this kind of detail work. Hmm. This actually gives me an idea. I may have something to talk to you about at some point.

Done, after about two and a half years. Just put in the last stitches today. My next project is the Super Mario 3 World 1 Map for my sister-in-law, but I'm waiting on the black fabric I needed to order online. Whew!
