Clara Wells purse revisited, 2

I'm trying not to be discouraged by the lack of progress on this Clara Wells purse.  I have to remind myself that I am stitching two identical canvases at the same time.  I know myself--I would never finish the second canvas if I didn't stitch them in tandem.  Each person has to make such a decision personally--no one else can tell you what approach you should take.

My enthusiasm for stitching this has returned--I plan to be a couch potato tomorrow while watching a golf tournament.  Hope I manage to make a lot of progress!
