Well, here it is, all finished:



Just have to find a frame now (need a 4 x 4in frame, which is not easy to find as they're all made for photos and so are 4 x 6in Rolling Eyes ) so that I can give it to my little granddaughter.

Thanks everyone for your help and advice, and especially Bernie for sending me the kit.

Thanks, but you really don't want to see the back Laughing Laughing

really quick


It's only very small (4x4inches) and I'm a bit like that, when I start something I just want to get on with it and I can't put it down until it's finished Laughing Laughing Not always a good idea really as it can become a bit of an obsession Confused

And looking at the photo, I've just noticed a stitch that I've missed - will have to sort that out tonight when I get home

That's superb Sandra! I used to do a fair bit of cross sttich, but I got such a stiff and aching neck from loking down too much - I haven't done any for ages.

It's beautiful.
