I am so sorry for not posting again!
So happy for all the nice comments my flowers received.
I have stitched quite some little pieces, but I can't seem to upload them at the moment.

Take your time. Don't rush. Sometimes the devices just refuse to work.

The cushion is a RICO design, the bee and the kitty are by Veronique Enginger, and the egg-shape is a design by The Prairie Schooler. I cannot recall the designer of the four cats.

Thank you for all of your lovely comments!
I finally finished my Toy Shoppe by Dimensions. Started it in July 2016, but tool a looong break and finally finished it this year in time for the holiday season.

:applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: It looks fantastic and I love those french knot snowflakes! If those are the kind of scattered French knots you asked about in a different post, I think you did a great job. And since you had other stitching to hide or weave the threads too, I don't think it would look any different (and be a lot more work) to do each knot separately. Congratulations on a beautiful finish!

:applesauce: :applesauce: A great finish. I have seen this kit & it has always looked pretty. Your finish makes it look even nicer & the Fr. knots are fine. They are better than mine. Makes it look as though snow is falling :applesauce:

PS I did not realise you had put this on when I replied to your Fr. knot question but it is a really lovely finish

Sina, all your works are beautiful and masterfully done. The finished Toy Shop is really very well done. I like your choice of designs and your neat stitching. Your backstitch is so perfectly done. Wish you helped me with mine. I still have lots of it to do.

In a word, congratulations on a great finish. :applesauce: What is your next project?

Thank you SO much everyone! I'm blushing over here :oops: :wub:
Izzi, the French knots are, in fact, colonial knots. I find them so much easier, come out nearly the same every time and don't look much different from French knots.

Podolyanka, I still have 7 ( :tizzy: ) WIPs on the go, so I should really finish one or two more of these. :D

What a gorgeous picture! Beautifully stitched. I bet the tyres on the bicycle were not very easy to do. :applesauce:

Beautiful finish!!! And I agree with you on the colonial knots - so much easier.
