Dragon Rip - cross stitch

Whew it's been a long month.  I worked on 3 pages before posting an update, since 2 of the pages were basically all black.  Nothing exciting about that.  But pages 15, 19 & 20 are now complete.  I struggle so much with this one.  I know it's not the confetti because when I would work day after day on the black I felt like pulling my hair out.  UGH!!!!!!  Will for sure rethink boring backgrounds again.  And the fabric, I can never say how much I just hate working with it.  So with trudging along & forcing myself to do this one & then a death in hubbies family I am really surprised that it just took me 21 days to do these 3 pages.
