nice start!

Great start and what a lovely idea to do this while you are seperated from your wife I bet she will be pleasantly surprised when she sees this!

good start to what will be a lovely project

Great start! And I must say that it looks like a very efficient way of gridding. I wouldn't have thought to put numbers on the side and letters on the top, probably makes it easier. Great job on gridding too. I don't have the patience for it. lol.

A great start, looking forward to seeing more soon

Great job gridding. I think you'll find that will make it a lot easier for counting and not making mistakes. Looks like you've made a good start at stitching too.

Great subject and good start.

Does your wife know you are doing this project?

Great start!! Really looking forward to seeing your updates!!

Good start to a lovely project

I have told her I have taken up cross stitching and that I am making something for her. Nothing more than that.

This week isn't going to be very productive because I am preparing to go to work at the embassy in Zimbabwe. But once I am there it is back to living in a hotel so I will have plenty of free time again.

Your wife is beautiful and what a wonderful idea to stitch this picture of her. You've made a good start - looking forward to watching your progress.

That's a great start.

What a wonderful surprise your wife is going to recieve! Your gridding looks absolutely brilliant, bet that makes it so much easier! Looking forward to seeing your updates
