I have done a bit more backstitching and all the snowflakes. The snowflakes was so annoying to do. So many scattered all over the place. I was ready to give up. :lol:. I have done the wee star - I had to do backstitch the eyes twice as I thought it was kinda hard to see.

Just a wee update. I have done most of the edge around the background and done some backstitch. Still not at the end yet. I have lost one of thread to do some of the snowman. :cry:. So I'm going to have to order some, which means some more stash. :lol:.

I'm going to start my HAED soon. Kinda scared cos they're so daunting but can't wait to get cracking. :roll: I have all the threads bought and fabric is on its way.

I done all his buttons now. Just have to stitch the white areas of the snowman's body and a bit of the background below him. All I will have then will be the backstitch. So :x: I'll be finished by this weekend. :dance:. Then I will be starting my first HAED. I have all the stash ready for it. 8)

I have a wee question about gridding - would normal floss be ok or would they stain over time? I have never gridded and I tried to find some info on how to do it etc but the instructions were too confusing for me. :lol:. If you can point me in the right direction on how to do it and get started, I would be a very happy :bunny:.
