I have finished my cut through Beach Hut.. it was the first cross stitch I picked out of my WIPs to stitch until it was finished this year. I failed to get it done by the end of January because I had to knit those socks for my youngest grandson.
I am very pleased with this now although when I was doing the back stitch, which brings it all alive looking, I did get a few whew feelings....as to how much more there was to stitch. Then when I thought I had finished I saw the little bird on the life belt that still
needed to be stitched!! I had forgotten how much this designer likes back stitch. Then it was only as I was stitching that last bird, I realised I have used the wrong colour blue for the roof, but hey ho it looks ok.
To fit in with my plan for this year I have to chose another WIP now to finish.
I think it will be the 'Welcome' design with the cat on it.
I have stitched more of it then this shows.
But before that I want to stitch Love by the Cricket Collection for DH
Happy Days

I love the Beach Hut, Chris. With a white frame, it'll look so summery.
Congrats on finishing Beach Hut. You did a beautiful job!
Chris, It is so much fun to watch whatever you are working on to come alive. Taking stitches out is a lot harder then putting stitches in that is for sure. I am watching my neighbors shoveling out their driveway. They will come after while and take care of mine. I love hand stitching. Have a great day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley
That's a lot of back-stitching, but can't argue over the result. It looks great.

Oh hurray, Chris! Beach Hut looks incredible! I added your pic to the SAL page. Congratulations on a great finish!!
You can't tell that the colour is wrong, it looks fantastic.
Bothy do use a lot of backstitch, but they make such a difference to the final piece, definitely worth it!
Great job! Makes me feel like a summer day just to look at it:)
By the way, I love the blue and think it was the perfect color to use!
Blessings,
