Started on the free gift from this months WOCS as I've lost momentum with Paris Cushion so I'm hoping to go back to it when I've finished this little cutie. This picture is after 3 hours 45 minutes stitching. The good thing about Bank Holidays is I don't feel guilty about stitching through the day-the bad thing is we've had visitors come and go all day so I've been picking it up and putting it down.

I might unpick the lettering and redo it using 2 strands so it stands out more. There's only the back stitching to do and it's ready to be made into a hanging 

It's been hard going this week as I've lost my stitchy bug. I've not done much stitching this weekI've had a busy week with a concert on at the school which was fun-it was called Back to the 80's. Also Anna had been to France so she was to collect on Monday night so no stitchy time then.

I am finding the Paris cushion hard going!!! All the greys around the bottom of the Eifel Tower has become a bit boring and and the greys a nightmare so I'm trying to do 30 minutes at a time on this. This picture is after 34 hours and 15 minutes of stitching.

I've also been working on the Rustic Bird from Cross Stitcher's Rustic Style Booklet. I am enjoying this but the colours are so light I like to try and do this through the day when there's natural light. This is after 6 hours and 27 minutes of stitching
