I'm loving stitching this design - I can get a nice flow going with sections and I can already see Charlie's head emerging in the centre of the picture. I am hoping to get this finished quite quickly as I'd like to get it framed with some of my Xmas money before it ends up getting spent on other things (I'll also get the small birth sampler I completed a short while ago for Xander framed at the same time, along with another piece I'm almost finished for my Mam).

Tonight I finished the blue in the lower left windowpane, the window sill on the lefthand side and started on the blue in the upper right windowpane. I'm really pleased with how this is progressing. :) I had to frog a couple of stitches when I started a new thread with a loop start then remembered I was supposed to be stitching with a single strand, but I'd only done half a dozen stitches with it so it wasn't much to pull out (thankfully), but it made me realise how tired I am tonight, so I've finished for the evening about half an hour before I originally intended.
