That's gorgeous Paula. I love trees too!
There is an amazing designer called Kim Anderson. She's also a really lovely person. She's released 5 cross stitch kits based on her designs. I've done 4 now and have ordered the fifth. I may be slightly obsessed lol. I promised myself I wouldn't buy the fifth until I'd completed another project, but I couldn't resist ;)
So beautiful!
Here's the finished, framed article (inlove)

And, just in case you are beginning to think I only do kits by this designer, I'm also working on this. This one has a story, it's from a photo taken of my daughters and nephews - 5 of them sitting on a slide. It's years old but I'd managed to do a lot of it, the stitches (for those who cross stitch) are 18 count and it's very detailed as it has to be to get the shading that happens in nature. So it had taken me a long time to get to where I was at. One day, I went into the kitchen. We turned our backs for a moment and one of our dogs - Polo - had chewed through the frame and the fabric - destroying the work I'd done. It's taken years for me to get over the heartache but I've started it again and hopefully, this time, I'll be able to finish it.

That is gorgeous and the last one looks like it is and will be aswell hun cant wait to see it finished
Wow, I love them both! You are so talented to be able to do that, especially the second one!!!
Thank you (blush)
That's awesome Paula - I'm so proud of you for starting it again from scratch too. I'd have been so devastated if that had happened to one of mine.
Naughty Polo !!
Only fellow stitches can truly understand. Si was saying, it's fine just do a new one. My friend, however, who also stitches knew exactly how many (wo)man hours it takes to get just a square inch's worth done and nearly cried for me!
