Wauw, that is coming along fast and beautifully! I do admire all your WIPs. I can't imagine having more than one project on the go; how do you chose which one to work on?! Great stuff!

I was admiring the accuracy of your chart. I know you made it yourself: would you mind me asking which program you used?

Slinky, I thought I might hang it in the window to scare away potential burglars! :lol:
No, it'll probably go in my endless pile of things waiting to be framed for the time being and when Simon and I eventually get a house with more walls for my stitching, it can go above my computer somewhere.

The software is "Stitch Simplicity" by the way. I got it off ebay for £7.50 about 18 months ago and this the first time I've used it for a proper large project.

Laura, Rose suggested a silver frame (which I think is perfect, Rose!) - I'll definitely go for that when I eventually get it framed.

Dammetje - I have a schedule for getting all my projects done. I know that might sound a bit regimented, but it works for me and that way I get to do something different almost every day - different colours and materials and pictures to work on. I do this:-

Predator at work if I have spare time and Saturday afternoons at home.
Chinese Dragon Sunday afternoons.
Dolphins before work.
HAED every evening.
