Twilight Balloon Flight update

This is a project I've been working on for my mother for the last couple of years. She's seen it and can't wait until I'm finished. Hopefully she'll live that long at the rate I'm going. I'm doing it 2x1 on 18ct Aida full stitches. You can see how much more I have to do before I'm done.

Year of the Sheep (1) on light blue

This one was sooooooo much easier to stitch than the Tiger on Navy. Bigger blocks of color and an easier fabric to see. It's a good thing this one is so easy because I have to do 4 of them. Here's the first:

Year of the Tiger (on navy blue)

So here is my next Chinese Zodiac finish. It's the Year of the Tiger on navy. And there's a huge mistake in it. I haven't decided how I'm going to handle it or if I should just let it go. There are a couple of errors I've corrected on the front but I've still got very tiny bits of thread I've somehow got to secure on the back. Haven't figured that out yet either. I think it would have been better if I had stitched it 3x1 instead of 2x1. It would have given a fuller look and the fabric wouldn't show through so much on the pale body. But the others aren't that way so I didn't want to do this one any different.
