Hi all
My cousin is getting married on 11.11.11 and I wanted to make her a cross stitch sampler that was personal to her. Her mum gave me some suggestions of things she likes and I thought that this cross stitch kit was perfect as elephants was one of the things on the list and it just seems so appropriate!

I am adding the names and wedding date at the bottom of the picture at the end.
I do not think this should take me very long as I have finished the bit so far in a few hours. I am hoping that it will be done as quickly as possible even though the date is so far off, as I have other projects I want to get on with too!
This is my work as of May 20th:
