Great! Thanks for the info, I figured you didn't use what Dimensions would use on their kits as it's never evenweave, but at least it's not 14 ct in that one, so it should work well even using their fabric.

I've had it on my Wish List from 123 stitch ever since joining these forums and seeing you stitching it. After I do my second geisha I'll definitely get this one. Haven't bought it yet 'cus I already have so many projects going and/or kited up, including several that are meant as gifts so I've refrained from buying it until I finish all of those or else I'll never get them done. :shock:

I had to have our eldest dog put to sleep 10 days ago, and didn't really feel like stitching the house, so progress has been a bit slower than anticipated. The photo's aren't very good, I was taking advantage of our lovely Cornish sunshine that has appeared this week, lovely and warm but a bit too bright for the camera. I'm not complaining though!

I decided to work on a couple of projects that I started while on holiday earlier in the year instead. I managed to finish Lizzie*Kate's Dog Lessons for People. Needs a good iron! :oops:

I also made a bit of progress on Tinkerbell.

Run free at Rainbow Bridge with Buster and Woody, Darling Kerris. :cry: I guess I'm 2madspaniels now.

Tink is looking good and your dog project is lovely -- what a great memorial for your dog (and I think your still 3madspaniels -- after all, he is still in your heart, isn't he?)

The Hardanger house looks great, you've done such a lot already!

:applesauce: Your Hardanger House is gorgeous. And the dog project is wonderful. Like Mabel said, you are still 3madspaniels no matter what, because they are all always in your heart. (The ls at the end of my name is for laverne and shirley of course because they will always be with me.) And fnally, :applesauce: for Tinkerbell. I hope she has some magic fairy dust to sprinkle on you to cheer you up.

Sending you lots of hugs :hug: :hug: So very sorry to hear about your dog! Our pets bring so much happiness to our lives.
Your stitching is beautiful. The hardanger house is stunning--I have a book with that chart in it but never have managed to find time to start it. I can't wait to see your next update on it. Tinkerbell is gorgeous and I love the fabric you have chosen for her--so yummy!!
The dog one is fantastic--what a fun design!!!

Thanks for all your kind words. I will always be 3madspaniels! Although that should perhaps be 5madspaniels2colliesandapoodle! (not to mention 4 cats, 3 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, 2 hamsters and countless fish over the years!) :wink:

So sorry to hear one of your lovely spaniels has left you feeling bereft and sad. You and the other dogs must miss him so very much. :hug: :hug: :hug: You must feel it's almost a betrayal to enjoy stitching when he isn't there any more.

But, nonetheless, your stitching is lovely. :applesauce: :applesauce:

Well, I see I am way behind on this thread, but I just wanted to say the Cinderella is my favorite version of her.
