I’ve been waylaid by a lot of unforseen issues this year, so this is a rare Thing where we’ll be checking it off the list even though it’s not “finished.”

This is part of our 100 Things in 2016 challenge. Here’s the full list.

I found this paint-by-number kit on Amazon, and it seemed like just the thing for me. I haven’t filled in every blob with color, but I feel like I put forth enough effort to fulfill the goal, which in the end was to spend time doing something relaxing and zen. At the end of the year I had a choice: rush through it as fast as I could to finish it, or continue to do it well.

I do intend to finish this before I delve into any other big projects, so expect a photo of the completed version sometime soon.
