It took awhile but more because of all the things going on in my life. Lol
I look at it and laugh now but it tells a story
About half way in I had a heart attack an acute MI with two months left to finish my nursing degree. My late husband past march 24 2016 I had my heart attack march 24 2018. I had to fight with the college in order to finish because I missed a week of finals and clinicals. I had to fight with my doctors to get released to return to classes. Made up my finals and clinicals on my weekends and between my other classes and finals. Lost my honors by 0.047 points. But I walked that stage May 5 2018 with my BSN.
3/4 of the way through my grand daughter was born, my daughter had major post pardon depression and her and her little family moved back home for a year. I worked crazy shifts and lots of overtime to provide for the additional people and critters.
My daughter loves it and says it has remindered her “she can do anything because she has my blood and there is no quit in my blood” lol.
What an impressive project, in every way possible! Good for you for making your way through all of that and coming out with this amazing memento of your hard work and determination.
Along with your incredible story, am I understanding that you devised the pattern for this as well? Just amazing, wow.
@magpig i had gotten a picture type graph for them both, but couldnt follow it as well as i can written out type graphs, so i entered it into my bead program to convert to a word graph.
Worked for me
