See, if I had kids, I would have a toy box which would no doubt be where my camera cable is hiding. As it is, I don't, so I'm gonna be stopping in at PC World on my way home from work on Thursday (payday) and then there will be more pictures :)

Finally, an updated picture :) I'm now on 9,800 stitches. It's actually a lot of fun taking these pictures, it's about the only time that I actually back up and look at the picture as a whole as I'm normally just focussing on the 10 x 10 section I'm working on.

Only just caught up with this and WOW :applesauce: :applesauce:

I cant actually see the original picture of what it will look like when it's done but colours in it thus far as gorgeous.

What a wonderful project, you must be so proud of your achievements and what a wonderful artist your mum must have been :wub: :wub: :wub:

Moved some pictures around in Photobucket, I've fixed all the links now though so you can look back and see the original painting if you want to Mel :)

What a beautiful picture from an obviously extremely talented lady. What a fitting tribute, can't wait to see more pictures of this.

This is definitely a picture that you need to take in as a whole -- there is too much colour change when you're right up against it doing individual stitches, but when you see the whole it comes together beautifully -- wonderful!
