I received 2 Charlie's Ark kits for Xmas from my Mum (Charlie's Falling Star and Birth Sampler), which I've been hankering to stitch ever since I first saw them.

The first one I'm going to do is Charlie's Falling Star. I've never done a project this big before now, but I think I'm going to love it.

It's on ivory 16-count aida and the stitched piece will measure 19.5cm x 19cm.



I've already sorted out the flosses, so tonight I'm going to grid the fabric and start stitching as soon as Xander is in bed and see how far I can get!

Oh, this one is lovely!

Thats lovely Kelly, I bet you can't wait to get started

oooooohhhhhhh that is really cute. I likey!!!!!

That's so cute, I bet your itching to get started on it!

Well, I sorted out the flosses as soon as Xander went down for his nap yesterday and then gridded the fabric after putting him to bed at night - then I started stitching! I didn't get much done as I was very tired after a long, busy, exciting day, but here's what I did:

All gridded up and floss sorted:


Progress 25/12/09:


This is part of the upper-left window pane - I figured as I was quite tired I'd start with a really easy bit!

That is a lovely design. Look forward to seeing your progress.

This looks lovely Kell.

Lovely design and a good start

More blue sky stitched tonight - almost finished this window pane!

That's coming on great Kell! Well done.

Nice! That's a really cute design.

Great start Kell

very cute good progress!

Another stitching update. This is where I'm up to as of tonight:



I've finished the blue sky in this window pane, the sill of this section and also the star. So far it's an absolute joy to stitch!

Well done Kell, you're whizzing ahead with this one.

It is so good that you enjoy it - and it looks absolutely great!
