It's great that you already know what you're doing next! I've got so many that I'm not sure what I'll do when I eventually get the xmas stitching done.

:lol: Mostly I get online during the day when I'm at work and not able to stitch and I always log on first thing in the morning too (about 6am). I got the fin fin-ished (tee hee) last night and started on the tail so nearly there now!

Mmm, this predator....

I made myself a chart and put a kit together. Loads of black and greys done on dark blue fabric. That will be fun :lol:

I almost finished the Koi by the way - just one colour left to put in the tail and it's done so my final pic will be posted tonight.

Thank you everyone - I've really enjoyed stitching this. Each bit brought the fish to life! I've another chart from the same designer of a fancy red and white goldfish that I thought I would do at a later date to go with this. It's not the same stylised design - more like a photopgraph - but still fishy and with similar colours!

Mine too! I've got both Predator movies and the AVP ones as well! Simon was going to buy me a two foot high steel Predator model for my birthday, but we didn't end up going to Milton Keynes where they are, so I'll have to wait a bit longer for that! He's going to stand in my living room and help the dog scare away burglars!
