Inspiration: This pattern was inspired by an article I read by N.S. Gill, About.com Guide to Ancient History on Stoic New Year's Resolutions. N.S. reminded me how universal this idea has been throughout the ages.
Thank goodness I had a Mighty Bright Vusion Lamp for this project which was stitched over one and was my first experience stitching with silk.
