Finished my dreamcatcher today, I didnt get to put my initials into it as I messed up the backstitch in the middle so I just kinda done my own design :roll:
At least I have the top part finished with the tepees and the dreamcatcher. I find the backstitch VERY tedious!!! but it really adds such detail to all patterns doesnt it.

Finished the next part of the design under the dreamcatcher there now, I still have to back stitch it. But after I finish the stone underneath this part I will have completed all the full and half cross stitch of half of the pattern!!!! The bottom part of the indians face was on the other piece of the chart. (the chart came in two large pieces of the top and bottom half and the reverse of the chart has the backstitch shown) I am going to run short in some colours but I'll just stock up on more of them.

This part took me two days to do there is over 1000 stitches in it (lol Im getting so bored of the browns!!!)

This is what it looks like so far
