I had a great idea a month or two ago to make our friend Jim a belt for his 60th birthday. I want it to be special and have things on it that reflect the pastimes he enjoys. Good idea but fast forward to one week before the party. In fact now I have 4 days before the party. Between the icons you see there is about 24 inches to fill in. Clearly it's going to be given as a work in progress. It is just no where near as easy as I imagined and when that happens it's easy to put off. Believe it or not I'm trying hard to stop worrying and just start stitching. So tonight I think I'll do the bicycle and maybe the cow or the skier. One icon at a time until it's all filled up.

What an awesome gift for a man! i have never seen this before - does it come in a kit? Love gifts with monograms - hand made and personalized at the same time. I'm with Leslie - he will love this even if it takes you longer to complete it!
