I started this about a month ago and it it going to be a Christmas present for my sister who loves Paris!
This is what the finished design will look like:

And this is where I am up to so far:
I'm really enjoying stitching this piece. The backstitch isn't too tedious, and I find it much better and easier to do it as I go along, rather than at the end

Thanks for all your kind comments
I'm having a lot of fun with this piece and it's stitching up quite quickly due to the half stitches which make up most of the background. The lady is nearly finished now, so here's a photo to show you all where I'm up to:

Superb design, I like it very much. You're doing great, and I also like to do the backstitch as I go. I hate having to do it all at the end!
