Rip Van Winkle projects

How many of you have had your project go to sleep for more that a year? Pictures required.

One of mine at 5 years. I almost want to tuck it in and put a pillow under the front end. One of my good intentions and got busy with everything else. Its amazing how something that big turns invisible for that long.

I was diagnosed with cancer just days more than a year ago. All my projects have been asleep since then and I'm just now starting to believe I'll be picking them up again.
