You're making good progress and as others have said, we all love to see the update pictures! I stitch while I watch TV as well.

Thank you for all the comments

Keeps me trucking along with it!

Got some more leaves completed, and a big chunk of blue done; 1/2 stitches can be bliss ^^ although abit hard to make out

It is really looking good. The blue is a bit light but I can see it fine.

It's really coming along, isn't it.

And it just so happens I'm watching a little wren darting in and out of the briar rose. Awww!

Good progress -- and aren't they nice birds to watch, Serinde? In Dutch they're known as "winter king" (actually a diminutive, it's such a little bird and the Dutch LOVE diminutives big time

) or "little John" (doubly small, as it uses the diminutive plus the word "little"

). *thinks of English ways to show the diminutive -- -let as in droplet and booklet? which would make it "winter kinglet" and "little johnlet", doesn't sound right, does it

?)

Very nice pic, and good progress, beautifully neat stitching.

I love wrens; and I have one visit my garden, too. Don't see it often, though, they are secretive little birds.

What a lovely design and you are making good progress with it.

Jess03 · Post by **Jess03** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:44 pm

Been a while since I updated, thank you all for your comments

Here's my progress, I've been doing mostly the blue

I'm also following the example of some by doing the backstitch while I go and it's definatly making me happier (no backstitch to look forward to at the end!

)

Jilly · Post by **Jilly** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 1:03 pm

It look wonderful Jess

I did find the backstitching was quite relaxing when done as you go, it makes a change from x's, and it's great to have the work come alive so soon, great progress

Rose · Post by **Rose** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 9:08 pm

That is really great, lots and lots of blue worked.

Great progress Jess, you can really see it grow! Loads of blue done. This is going to be beautiful
