I started this kit by Bothy Threads almost a year ago , yes, it's been sorely neglected! I've given it some TLC recently and managed to get a couple of pages done. There's quite a lot of backstitching but I'm doing it as I go along. You may have noticed some of the lettering isn't correctly positioned, I'm finding it quite tricky to place half and tiny backstitches on aida.. even stabbed myself a few times! Aside from the backstitching the chart stitches up fairly quickly, huge blocks of colour and not a confetti stitch in sight.. a welcome break from the Haed charts.
This is how it should look when finished.
And where I am now...
Thanks for looking.

They are such fun designs with all the details in it that you keep discovering -- great work so far, I can imagine all those tiny stitches must be quite a challenge, especially getting them exactly where you want them!
Oh my goodness, I love it! It does look like that backstitching is a bear to work on Aida... but it will be so neat when it's finished! Nice work so far!

Great work, I love this one! I think it looks like a page from a Where's Waldo book.

I do love the cut thru designs...but all that backstitch really puts me off from ever stitching one....I will have to watch yours come to life instead....that way I can see it come to life and not have to do the backstitch
You have made great progress....it looks so colourful and lively....gorgeous
