Promises Kept - Finished 10-9-11

This looks great! I solved my conflict between my love of reading and stitching by listening to audio books while stitching.

Wow! You've really powered through this one in the last few months. I hope you're able to continue on and complete it before this fantastic mystery kit arrives.

Thanks - It wasn't until I posted the pics yesterday that I realised how much progress I've made with this one since July!

Whoops! Should have known to add a pic but as I don't have the kit yet I didnt think!

Here's a pic though - It's called Victorian Charm by Dimensions Sunset



Don't ask me why but it just hits all the right notes with me at the moment. I hadn't seen it until last week and wasn't even thinking about starting my next project but when I saw this I had to have it! Isn't it lovely?!! Just makes me feel all cosy for some reason! I also want to go and peek through the window to see what's happening inside!

As for audio books - I do listen to them sometimes but I kind of stop listening in my head and then wonder what's going on when I start paying attention again! And I do love my Kindle very much now! Never thought I'd do the ereader thing and really thought would miss a backlight but nope - it's just perfect!

I *love* that new design you have chosen - what an excellent reward for finishing your current piece! I've tried the audiobook thing and have exactly the same experience with my mind wandering off..... I too am a Kindle convert after swearing that I would never get on with one. Two days after DH bought his I had to get my own as he didn't want to 'share' - I had it more than him !

That is a great design. I love the colors and yes it is warm and cozy. Cute little kitty on the stairs too. Makes me continue to rethink my tendency to avoid kits.

Wow fantastic work!!!!!!!!!

[vanessanjf]

Great work I love Victorian charm, I completed it a few years ago. It was a pleasure to stitch but there is quite a lot back stitch.

[Parksfarm]

Love your arc! And your new project is really cute too, I bet you can't wait to start it!

[Fljotsdale]

Your Ark is lovely! It hardly needs any backstitching, apart from the lettering, imo.

And I love your new project as well! I agree there is a lovely warmth to it, and the colours are just my taste!

[Ceitidh]

Your ark stitch is looking great - love it. Really like your next project too.

[Cockneystitcher]

You have done so much on the Ark,looks lovely.

Love your next design..It makes think of cosy winter nights by the fire for some reason.

[Nachstenliebe]

Very nice
