Very nice finish!! :dance:

I really like your next project! Are you going to try to get it finished before Christmas of this year, or take your time and have it done for next Christmas?

I like it too--very much so, and will most likely try and finish it within this month--it's not at all that large and already is stitching up pretty quickly :)

Your Nest looks lovely! Great idea to alter it to fit a standard frame. Wish I'd thought of that . . . but I'll keep it in mind for future projects. :)

Thanks for all the very lovely replies--The Nest was so very fun to stitch and Thanks to Wanda for discovering it! I may end up stitching other small projects using one or two of the cute birds from this design and changing colors---it's just that fun!! Thanks again Wanda!! :)

Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. We think alike: individual birds would make very cheerful cards.

Your new project is also very colourful and coming along quickly!
