Hopefully when done it will look like this:
Immediately run into problems, as I wasn't happy with 25ct 2 over 1. I tried out a few options and decided in the end on 27ct 2 over 1 tent stitch.
When I started to actually stitch I realised that I choose the probably confetti richest HEAD out there
There is not one 10x10 square with less than 10-15 colours in it, most have 25-35.
I was trying to park but was so busy getting new thread out that I stitched like 80 x in 2h.
Then I went for cross country, miscounted several times and gave parking another chance.
And that's how it look like now, after ~ 30h of work, just 2000 stitches in (only another 183 150 to go, that will take a few years). At least something is actually visible now
I wish they would have some kind of difficulty level on the HAED website, I should have started with something a bit easier for my first HAED.
Updates:
that is a pretty motif which is starting to show up now - love the colours in it too. Well Done 
. I do take a picture every night though when I have finished my stitching for that day. It really helps me to see progress that I would otherwise miss. It also is a great way to see figures starting to appear. When I look at my stitched pieces directly I think what I see are stitches, the camera puts it into a better perspective and the stitches become objects or pieces of objects or places or people. Then I compare that day's picture to the previous one and my progress becomes visible. What is important is that you do what you need to, to keep your motivation strong. I, for one, am enjoying your pics of your progress.
