I saw those in that well known supermarket bikergran and thought how nice they looked. I was in 2 minds whether to pick one up but I've got dozens of unopened cross stitch kits that I could do with starting. I think once you've done the first panel, it will become much easier. Are there a lot of half stitches? If its a 14 count aida they shouldn't be too bad, but any finer and I'd struggle to see properly these days.

Have been trying to think of a little something to dO.

Called in well know German supermarket thisaft and spotted this £3.99. thought ohh little simple project.

Opened the box and gosh! looks complicated, last bit of cross stitch I did was a letter "L" in a little 2 inch by 2 inch frame lol.

Will read the instructions then make a start when I retrieve my reading glasses from work smile (Don't wait up)!
