Well done Angel, you've created a lovely piece of needlework (and so cute - I made the mistake of letting my daughter see this and of course she wants one too now - yet another project on the to-do list!)

Thank you all very muchly :wub:

I had thought about putting it on the wall behind my computer, but now I'm thinking it might get lost in all the monitors and junk I pile up like a death trap,. I also thought about putting it in my hall way above my stitching shelves (which my aunt anne kindly donated to me) but that hallway is almost perpetually in the dark.

So now I'm thinking I should focus on getting it framed and mither Jayms in June to help me pick the most perfect spot for it ^_^

awww bless, well at least it's a good project to work on, all cross stitch, half stitch, back stitch and three french knots. so it's pretty easy going ^_^ Although there are blended threads. Two where you have to blend lt grey and lt brown, then pale grey and pale brown.

Angel she is truly beautiful you should be very proud.

Stand in your hallway and think about the room you spend the most time in. Then stand in the doorway of that room and spot the place that catches your eye the most. That will be the best place for audry! This is how me and my mum pick places to hang pieces.

Good plan Netie. I think the room I spend the most time in is my living room, and over the fireplace is the most eye catching place from the doorway...

I going to ask daddy to hang it for me,and see what he thinks too. I had wanted to turn the photo of my buns from my gallery into cross stitch and put that there, but I think I can put that over the fireplace in my bedroom (although my bedroom fireplace is blocked off and is now my porcelean doll cubby cove instead :P I still call it a fireplace).

Thank you ^_^ I'm very proud myself. I can just picture my gramma smiling as I hand it to her. She'd have loved it.

Jilly, I like paws more than whiskers ^_^

oh at the bottom of our road there used to be a sweety shop which went out of buisness a good few years back, well the lady was so used to not having that room that she just locked the bars in the door and left the door wide open, that room became the dog room for her beautiful...HUGE dogs!

Well see they barked every time I went past so I was scared of them till my sister took me there and made me go towards the doggies and it turned out that they were just barking for attention! Lovely soppy doggies they were. Are.

Barney and Zeus were their names and Barney had the mostest amazing paws in the world! See he was an akita. LOOK AT THOSE PAWS! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

I mean this dog is huge! His head is like parallel with my chest.
