I started Dolphins Swimming by Moonlight around about July last year and did most of page 1 but then got a bit fed up with all the confetti and then lost my stitchy bug and ended up not stitching anything for a year. I picked it up again in July this year when I was on holiday from work and I've managed to get page 1 finished and a good bit of pages 2 and 3. I'm stitching it on 18ct magic guide aida instead of the 14ct that came with it.
This is what it should look like when finished:
This is how far I've gotten:
To get a break from the million shades of purple I made a start on Dimensions Beguiling Tiger and this is what I've done so far:
I'm going to start working on the Dolphins again for a while.
Thanks for looking

Beautiful updates! One advantage of doing more than one project at a time is that when you need relief from one project you can switch. I used to have the same experience before joining the forum. If I needed a break I just stopped stitching and my stitchy bug would take major round the world trips I think. This way you will end up with two lovely pieces. Looking forward to your updates!!

I can well understand needing a break from all those lovely purples. You have made good progress on it and I love your start on the Beguiling Tiger too. A lovely update of beautiful stitching.
