Well, I tried to be finished

Just a few small changes this time - Dad's trousers are brighter (more like the originals); Mom has tiny bows on her shoes just like her real black flats; there are white stripes in the afghan; I added a flower to Mom's sweater to make it look more like something she'd wear. I think I'm finally satisfied although it took a couple of layers of paint on those trousers to get to something close to the real ones.

Oh, the other detail I added today was the levers on the recliners to elevate the foot rests.

It will soon be time to find a new project. Stay tuned! :)

This was the most wonderful project! I enjoyed watching you add all of the special little details that make this so perfect.
I'm sure your family will treasure this for years and years to come.
Congratulations!
