I really like your new project too, I've seen thepicture and it's such a fun idea . Don't worry too much about it being "in at the deep end" -- as far as I can make out from the picture the cutwork bits are not too complex, very much what you might expect on a first project. It's just that there's so much fun stuff happening around the cut bits !
I managed to pick him up from the framers on Friday afternoon, ready to enter the show on Saturday. I entered the Samurai and my Joan Elliot peacock, and.............
I am so chuffed! First and Second place!

First progress pic of "Hardanger Christmas House".
It's not really out of shape like that! Just the photo/snap frame distorting it! For some reason the camera struggled to take a "head on" pic!
I'm loving this one, feels really relaxing after all that intricate detail of the Samurai! Although stitching over 2 on 25 count linen feels huge after the 36 count!
My daughter asked to see my stitching, as she is usually in bed when I stitch. Her comment?......... "what's that? It's horrible!" Cheeky Monkey! However, she decided she liked it when she had a closer look and knew it was a house!

on your new piece. It is so delicate. and such a switch from the bright colors of the Samurai and peacock, though the Christmas colors give it some pop. No comment on the comments of children. I love how they say what they think though. I'm glad she changed her mind once she figured it out.

Congratulations on your winning first and second prize! He looks absolutely stunning in his frame. I NEED this chart, I NEED this chart, I just need that right moment to fork over the dough to get it!
Your hardanger project is looking wonderful already as well! Beautiful!
I do have a question about the Samurai. What type of fabric did you use and what fabric did the kit bring?

The kit comes with 18 count aida, but I used 36 count linen. I prefer the look of linen on the unstitched bits!
My leftover threads and chart has already gone to a stitchy friend, sorry! I think it's worthwhile buying the kit, as Dimensions thread conversion tables aren't quite correct. I compared my kit threads to their DMC equivalent and they weren't the same.
