Thanks for all your lovely comments. I really loved stitching this, the yellows and green are so pretty.

I remember when I put the first few stitches on it - it was Friday 17 October just before my birthday. I was at work and had just come down with that awful cold. I felt so rough I only did about ten stitches and then gave up so I didn't even bother taking a photo until the following week when I was back at work after my days off, so really, I started it around 24 October. Can't wait to get it framed now, although that will be a while. I might do this one myself though as it's quite small, soon as I've got the time to get a decent frame and backing board.

Where did the pattern come from? Was it a kit?

Yes, it was a kit I bought off ebay a few weeks ago from a seller called "wendyanne23". It was £13.99 - I got it with birthday money from my Dad.
