I understand the feeling. I had bought the kit for Kailey's stocking when I was pregnant with her. I don't think it was actually finished until her 3rd Christmas (she was 2). They don't know any different for the first couple of Christmases.

I'm sure your son will love this, I do

Well thank you all

I love stitching this but I do admit I hate the threads not being ready sorted and also I am finding that the floss is inclined to tangle and fluff up more than my usual threads which are DMC.

Here is an update after a week, there will be loads of backstitch especially round the tree branches. I am ahead of my target but don't expect to get anywhere near as much done this week once my son comes home from hospital

This islooking good

This is looking very beautiful.

It's beautiful!

Wow this is looking so lovely - and coming along so quickly too!

This is an adorable design, I like the lights-effect threads get when used on dark Aida, I'll check on your progress!

You are really going with this one!!! Great job!!!

It seems like it is taking me forever to do this one for my son. I started it last November (I think) and just finished the cross stitching today. I still have the backstitching to do.

Here is my weekly update and I am still slightly ahead of my target, I am nearly half way I think. I am really enjoying stitching this

You've done loads! Such great progress! It's looking so magically beautiful!
