So, after UFO-week I just enjoyed stitching this so much that I didn't want to put it down. I did some of the backstitch to see what it will look like :wink: Here is how far I got:

As much as I HATE doing backstitching I will admit that it does wonders for making the images pop. Great work. Don't give up.

Here is what I have done this week. Didn't have a lot of time, I could only work on it for more than half an hour yesterday. I did some more backstitch as well.
