Charlie's Falling Star (Charlie's Ark) - Finished and framed

[Lizzieh]

I love these designs but never really had anyone to stitch one for so I am really enjoying experiencing it through you.

I never did befor either, although I fell in love with the artwork the first time I saw it - I love that you never see Charlie's face and he could be ANY little boy. Now that I'm back into my stitching and have a very young son, I plan to do quite a few of these lovely designs. I have another kit and several more charts I plan to try out. Then I'll have them all framed and put them up in the nursary.

Oh wow that is looking so good. I love these designs!!!!

Just a small amount of stitching time tonight as I've had a stonking bad headache most of the day. Still, I'm making progress - I've finished all the blue sky in the upper right windowpane and started on the lower right windowpane.

Poor Kell, hope you feel alot better after a good nights sleep.
You're making great progress with this. It's looking great.

[Rose]

That looks great!!!!! Sorry about the headache have a and relax.

I can't believe how much you have gotten done on this! It's a great design and you are stitching it up so well!

[kell]

I can't believe how quickly it's stitching up either! Although, I'm loving it so much that I'm picking it up every chance I get. As soon as Xander goes down for a nap, out comes my hoop, and as soon as he's down in bed at night, it's out again while I watch some telly with hubby.

My last progress update of the year! I've now finished all the blue sky in the windows and have started the windowsill on the right. You can now clearly see the silhouettes of Charlie and his toy.



Of course, I now have to leave poor little Charlie for a week while I do my UFO. I'll be working on my ABC afghan for the next 7 days, then I'll be back to Charlie, off and on, between other projects I have to get done during January.

This was really fast progress, Kell! And your stitching looks so neat.

[charmagne_capalad]

Great progress, Kell!

[K1nS]

wow you have done so much Kell!

[kell]

I'm gutted that I can't just press on and finish Charlie, but I promised myself that I'd do 3 letters on Xander's ABC afghan each UFO week and I am also taking part in the Basket of Biscornu challenge this year (one biscornu each month for my Xmas tree!) and I'm also taking part in a bookmark stitch this month. I'm already itching to get back to Charlie, though - I'm pleased with how much I managed to get done in a week.

[Rose]

He looks fantastic. What a sweet design. I understand why you want to press on with him.

It's lovely Kell. It's looking so effective.

Look forward to seeing Charlie appear in colour.

Yay! I get to stitch Charlie for the next week (till 20th) until "Xmas Card Week" (which starts on 21st). Tonight I finished the window frame and sill on the lower right side and I've started stitching te wall at the lower right side too.

[Rose]

Oh I am so happy he is back. I love watching this one.
