Your all soooo kind! Thanks for your comments guys! :dance:

Sammy/Mabel - didn't find the cording too difficult after figuring out what I was doing. The only tricky bit was pulling it through the aida as the cording is quite thick. Apart from that, its alot simpler than you'd think!

Sammy - if you need any tips/help when you do yours, please shout and I'll try to help!

Well here is the final picture. Not the best picture i'm afraid, because its soooo difficult to take a good picture when its all framed up because of the flash.

I was a little disappointed because they didn't mount it exactly as I wanted it (the cordy bits arn't in position and the mount isn't in the right place) but perhaps I'm being my normal picky self)!!! :roll:

What an absolutely stunning project. My problem is that I see project such as this and want to do them and then look at the boxes of kits I already have and whimper and have to accept that I should buy NO MORE.
