Have located it on ebay--and it is very pretty--but a bit larger of a design than I was hoping for. I'll keep looking and in the meantime, I'll enjoy watching yours come to life :dance:
Can I ask, why do you stay away from dimension kits?..just curious for your reasons..I've only stitched two projects and both were dimensions.

This is gorgeous. Hummingbirds fascinate me anyway and this one looks fantastic.

Mainly as I prefer not to use kits at all, and dimensions, while usually very nice, most have the threads unsorted--and I especially do not like the charts that they use--the reds do my eyes in :doh:
