my kingfisher has some three-quarter stitches (so two small symbols in one square) where one is a black square and the other a black circle

Ooh tricky! Do you use a magnifying glass for those? I don't see why they have to use such similar symbols... seems they could figure a way to make each one more distinguishable. But having never attempted to design anything of my own I best keep my opinions to myself.

This is coming along really well sorry to hear about the symbol problem was probably passing your door but thankfully didn't drop in. Can't wait to see more!

Oh my gosh! I actually see his face!
Finally its starting to look like something.....

Waiting to get other colours to carry on this part of the cross stitch.
but will be carrying on with the rest of it in the mean time.



Thanks so much for looking

wow you are going fast!

That is really growing!!
Looking really good, you must be so pleased with it.

Lovely ! Great progress

Well done! It's coming along great!

Coming along great, looks really good. U have done alot and so fast, well done.

This is an amazing amount of work. I looked at it for a long time and I can't find the face yet but I am never good at those puzzels were you have to find the hidden pictures in the bigger picture. I could never Find Waldo.

Well done you have done a lot keep going...............

Me either, but I am seeing a glimpse of his face. Well done!

thanks everyone.
Been trying to do a little everyday.

When I get the missing colours I'll "colour" in the missing parts but as for now I'll be carrying on with the colours I have.

I buy colours as I can afford them.
This budget of mine doesn't really allow for hobbies but I squeeze it out every now and again. And next month is my birthday so hoping to get some spending money or vouchers for pressies from inlaws/outlaws/hubby.

Sounds like you need a good floss fairy! Next month's your birthday, is it... hmmm

Its coming along really well its a really good picture too! I hope your dropping big hints for your birthday!!

well I'm not dropping hints to you lot really. lol


He he - I'll be dropping heaps of hint to my hubby though. lol

Looking good

He looks fantastic! I love all the woodsy colors you're working with!

Heh heh...drop him lots of hints!

Great progress and well done for sorting out those similar symbols early on.

here I am as at 11 June.



finished his face and all I have to do is the surroundings.... lol - the boring bits!

If you cannot see it stand up and walk back abit. You'll see his mostache first and his nose.

I see him!!! I must show this to my hubby, he has a carved LOTR chess set, Treebeard is one of them, except he is white, being a good guy and everything
