Its great fun to stitch! lots of colour changes but I guess thats to make up for the lack of backstitch. My son loves watching its progress although he's a little impaient!! Thanks for the encouragement!! :) it helps a lot. Ive nearly finished Doc Hudson now, but I have to put it down for a little while and stitch for my atcs and biscornu exchange..... I got so carried away with this I nearly forgot to start them :oops:

So I've had a huge great disaster with this!! Last night I finished Doc Hudson and one of the letters and took it off my frame to move it about!! Then to my horror I realised that I've made the stupidist mistake ever!!! I've stitched it the wrong way round!! So I'm not going to have enough room (heightwise) to finish it!!! I'm very very annoyed with myself for making this mistake!! I was going to scrap it and start again, but with 2 of my kids birthdays in the same week next month, I can't really afford to buy a big piece of fabric to re start. So I've thought about it and I'm going to attempt to jig it about a bit and see if I can reposition the characters and letters to fit them on?! I'm not altogether sure this is going to work?!? but we'll see what happens. Fingers Crossed it works out!! :x:

Oh Charmed what a shame! But good for you that you're going to try and make it work -- it'll make the piece unique and it'll have a story to tell!

After the disaster that was this project I put it away because I didnt have the heart to work on it. But then I decided to do a complete restart and brought a huge chunk of white aida. I started around xmas time and what with one thing and another Ive only managed to do about half.
This is where I am at the moment
