I remember all the way back when you'd just got the pattern for this, so it's great to see it appearing now. The coverage looks fine too, very vibrant colours.
looks fantastic!! I do see what you mean about the smile and I think I'd do the same as what you are planning!! Great stitching! 
I'd go nuts stitching that much on black!!

Actually, it's not as bad as bad as you'd think, stitching on black 24ct. I have my magnifier lamp (couldn't do without it!) and a white cloth on my lap with a separate lamp shining on it so I can see the tiny holes fairly clearly, and I only stitch this in daylight - usually, that is. Yesterday I stitched into the evening to get the flame finished - so my evening stitch 14ct Janlynn Elephant (which I can do while watching tv) didn't get a look in. 
But I expect I will manage, I have the picture to work from... I suspect there will be quite a lot of detail I will have to backstitch... sigh... I was hoping this would work like a HAED, but no such luck! 
I agree! Once you have the pattern, you have to wait until you can afford the fabric, then another wait until you can afford to buy the thread... then the sorting and ordering of thread with symbol, and then - bobbins, stitchbows or little bags... ???rattykate wrote:I personally always cant wait to begin stitching!!! It seems as though it takes forever to get everything organized and set up to begin stitching!
