Unfortunately, Section 4 has another patch of snow, which is what I am working on now. It started off okay but as I add each additional shade of white or off-white or silver-white, it becomes more difficult to count my stitches. Even under my magnifying lamp it is difficult to distinguish one shade from another and counting from the nearest non-white reference point is time consuming but oh so necessary if I am to get this done properly. I just keep promising myself that I'll be done with the snow very soon. I am looking forward to working on an area less productive of eyestrain.
I shall be concentrating on this piece for the next little while since I want to have it stitched, sewn, stuffed and mailed by early December. There is still a great deal of stitching left and then there's the embellishment with metallic braid and petite seed beads.

Nothing worse than a big block of shaded whites....it'll soon be done, it's looking lovely.
Yeah not only is it white its TW style white! Oh boy!
Bless you for stitching all those shades of white! It WILL be over shortly, and you will be pleased I am sure!
You're a much better woman than I am! Good luck to you.
This is going to be a beautiful treasure. I feel your pain with so many shades of white though.
Love Dani's comment!
You have so much patience, I do admire your perseverance with this. I suppose it helps because it is for your grandchild.
