All Things Bright and Beautiful - Updated 16-08-10

Post by Arianwen »

This is a kit that ws given to me by my nan - minus the fabric. I started it about a year ago then something went wrong and I stopped. A while back I decided I wanted no UFOs so I'm giving it another crack.

Heres the picture of what it WILL be like when its finished (hopefully this will work!)
Image

I had pretty much nothing done I went wrong on the very first branch! I started this maybe 3 weeks ago after I finished my other big project (my nan has it at the moment so I cant photograph it). I'm hoping it wont take me too long to do cause i have LOADS of others that I want to do

Heres a pic of what I've done so far

Image

It's being done on 14 count white Aida using the floss that came with the kit. Im hoping I've organised the colors correctly. So far it looks ok though

Why is it sometimes you have loads of things you want to do all at the same time, and others, theres not so much? lol
