Finish it off Friday: rugging up

As I dug back deeper in time through my stash of UFOs, I found these:
Two unfinished stitched dolls' house miniature rugs,
Two rugs that have been waiting to have their edges finished for a very very long time.

 I'm not sure I've done any stitching since I moved to Canberra sixteen years ago, so these are geriatric in terms of UFOs.
Edge of a piece of cross-stitch fabric with a dolls' house miniature rug stitched on it, showing pin marks from blocking.
I obviously blocked them at some stage and then gave up and put them aside. Well today's their lucky day...

    You did all that work and didn't finish them? Man, I thought I was bad but you really deserve an award for the longest project ever. =0P

    Do you think it's lack of time or are we all prone to losing interest once the hard part is finished? Hmm

    I think it's a combination of the fact the stitching was really for another purpose than making the miniature and the fear of f***ing it up in the final stretch.

    That must have taken a long time to do...they deserve a grand finish.
