New Finish - Japan Precious Moments

I have a new finish.  Sorry, there's no WIP pics but this was easy and fast to stitch up.  It only took me about a month start to finish.  And I was working on other projects during that same time.

I stitched it on 14ct light oatmeal in 2x1 full stitches.  I hate hand written symbols and that was what was on the chart.  It got annoying at times but I didn't get frustrated enough to put it aside.

Oops! I missed an update

Oops, I missed an update.  And a finish to boot.  I'm so embarrassed.  This is the finish of the Mexico bear I was stitching.  It was so quick and easy.  I don't know that I like the color of Mexico at the bottom.  It's too hard to see.  I might change it to the orange color.  That should stand out more.

Cherish Teddies - USA Bear FINISHED!

So every time I picked up this project to start stitching I told myself to get a progress pic . . . but it’s just so cute and easy that I just wanted to be stitching it.  So here’s a finished picture.  It was really fast and easy until I got to some of the backstitching.  It was really hard some times to tell if a line was backstitch or a grid line, especially the thicker 10x10 lines.  I eventually had to look at the finished picture on the booklet and see where my piece was different.  Once I figured that out I could match it up with the pattern and see the lines.
