Doing this one for my mum's birthday, her 65th. She's away for a week so I'm frantically stitching! The floss came with the chart minus the green, for which I'm using some Waterlillies instead. Nice natural linen 28 ct fabric, 2 over 2.



My progress, today and another few hours recently when I had some space!

Great chart and very good start on it! Hope you finish it in time!

That is a great chart! Good luck on finishing it on time!

Very wise words.. This will make a wonderful gift!

what a fun design!! I actually prefer the green you are using to what the design shows. I know your mom is going to love this!!

Love it

Great work! I love LK designs and look forward to seeing your speedy progress on this one!

That is a great chart and you are doing a great job. this is a chart I ought to get a hold of. I have several friends who will be turning 65 in a year or so and this would be a great gift. Thanks to the forum I have discovered Lizzie Kate and have a few of her charts already for gifts. As if I needed more. But I love this one. I am so looking forward to your updates.

this is lovely

That chart is wonderful. Are getting loads done!!!!!!!!

love it!

I love this chart! My mom turns 60 in July, think this would be a great gift for her.

I just bought the Lizzie Kate kit that is similar to that one, "ABC's of Parenting". Since we are expecting our 2nd daughter in April I think it is an appropriate kit for me to do!

Yes I love these charts, I have the dog owner one as well, or is it the cat? One of them anyway!!! The parenting one would be a great birth present for new parents.

Great work on this so far! you can get it done in the week you have! I really need to get some of these LK charts, they're brilliant.

LOL, what an adorable design. I love it! I should stitch one for my mom.

You're stitching is fantastic too.

Great fun, and great stitching!

Great work. You are getting on really well with this one

great progress. Are you using the fabric and thread that came with the kit? I found the kit on 123 stitch and it looks like it uses silk threads. I don't usually do kits, but am thinking this would be a good way to introduce myself to silk and linen (which I only tried once before, years ago and couldn't do diddly squat, but now I have lots of "helpers"). For some reason (my age?) I really love this one and think it might be a good way to learn.
