Description
Some of you might know that I am working on a grand master piece which I have been stitching since October. It is rather slow work and so to give me a break and to actually finish something I set to work on this small piece (18cm by 5cms). It features the character Peter Rabbit from the wonderful stories created by Beatrix Potter and has been created through whole, half and backstitch over the course of a weekend.Related content

Awwww thank you. I wouldn't say your previous efforts with Cross Stitch were a failure, in the beginning my mistake was that I didn't realise that big pieces take heaps of time (I've been working on my master piece since October and I'm only working on the 4th panel out of 9 now) and are very strategic. You often have to start really small like book marks to get the hang of it. That way it encourages you, you move faster and thus can tackle the really large pieces. In the end cross stitch is a test of determination. So you never know, might be worth giving it a shot again.

Thank you. I think this is the first of the non-old person like pieces I've submitted. I find many of the others tend to have a very grandma sort of feel in particular the cherry sampler I submitted a while ago.

* Grins. * Dollars in maybe sueing me for stitching a character belonging to someone else. But yer, where you have been? I haven't spoken to you for age so it seems! * Hugs. *

If you don't tell them where the character is from they'll never know lol nah but seriously in art popular characters get appropriated everywhere anyway 
Yep it's feels like it's been along time between breaks, your Sydney trip seemed great! Not to mention you got to visit some of the nicest looking areas and eateries!

A few hours over the course of the weekend. Probably would have been about 10 working hours. But I never count these things too seriously, I should some day though.

same here i do them in my spare time...if i ever have any...sometimes it takes too much concentration

Spare time ... you can never really call that can you? I remember once when I stitching and a lady came up to me and said, "oh you must have so much time." I really wanted to say, "I don't. You need to make it if you love to do things." People never have spare time. Not at all. Anyhow, how have you been?

I think there is nothing wrong with keeping ones hands busy and I must say I really admire that you knit. I've never been able to get my head around where the needles go.
