Mission Accomplished

---

​And just like that…the Diamond Dot project was finished…

Four years later…new to Diamond Dots me enthusiastically buying the biggest one in the store…not realizing the dotting commitment that lie ahead…

Started it…put it away…did a little more…put it away…took it to Texas…didn’t touch it…took it to Texas again…didn’t touch it…again…

Then made a vow…a pact…a silent threat or whatever…finish it before starting anything else…no puzzles…no cross stitch…nothing…

And so…every day for how many months…each time that daughter of mine called…it was Diamond Dot time…

Talk…dot…talk…dot…talk talk talk…dot dot dot…it was fun…it was relaxing…it was perfect…

And so it is…that shiny llama piece of art now an homage…to daughter time…mother daughter time…and to closure…

Sigh of relief…got er done…can finally move on closure…

And that Barbie puzzle of mine…agrees…
