Nearly done...HAH!

I am nearly 8 3/4" done - that's the first side I started what seems
months ago. This is sloooooooow going for sure. I'm going to add
more to this as it is just barely the correct length when I pull it
too and fro a bit! Having pulled a week of bed rest due to a cold of
epic proportions, I feel I am now ready to tackle this project once
again.
