This is a kit I bought in 2011 and although I promised myself I would complete one block each month as you can see I am only on block 2!!
The embroidery takes time and it has to be traced, so I can't rush it, I want it nice as I want it as a wall hanging in our conservatory.
I am at present stitching very tiny chain stitches to complete the two little birds. (Not a very good photograph but you can see where my hoop was!)

And some more stitching done on my Beach Hut.
Don't you just love that little stripy 'cozzie' and the dog's hat?
I am sitting in our big kitchen which does not have the sun on it in the afternoons with the fan blowing on me.. Today we have hit 29
°C and it is hot! I love the sun but as a gardener we need some rain!Happy Days!
