I actually love the color purple so it wasn't too bad stitching pretty much the same color for awhile. I think the blues would drive me crazy like in Sarah's HAED..

Wow, you've got loads done now, well done! It's coming along great.

:lol: Yes all those blues on the first page of mine did drive me a bit batty, I think there were 8 shades of blue and nothing else, but fortunately I'm onto an interesting part now!

Great progress! The colors are lovely! :applesauce: :wub: :applesauce: It's really amazing of you using 3 strands on 18ct. I used to stitch 4 strands on 14ct but now switched to 2 strands as I find it much faster to do. :)

I'll have an update on this tomorrow. I stitched all weekend and am almost done with the first page. I actually ran out of two different color purple's and forgot to even buy one shade of blue so I need to get to the craft store tonight to get those. I'm up to about 4500 stitches which is right around 5% done! :D

Me too, we need to settle ourselves down on the forum bench here Rose, with some chocolate, so we get pole position for picture viewing!

That is a lot of work!!!!!! And it is always good when you can see actual shape coming out rather then spots of color. Doing great :applesauce:

Isn't it so exciting when you can start to make things out at last, rather than it just being colours. I love it when designs start to take shape. Fantastic progress.
