Progress from the last week. I am :beg: to finish this one this week. DH is working on the Dimensions Beguiling Tiger for his sister for Christmas and will probably need help finishing it. Plus, I'm hoping to work on a 5x7 nativity kit for my daughter's godparents for Christmas. I think I'm just asking for trouble! :lol:

Looks like just a few little bits left to fill in! I love the colours in this picture!

The only unstitched area on the bottom is between the stones of the pathway. Everything else is filled in. What really helps right now is that I have enough places marked that when I start a color, I can go ahead and finish up that symbol. :dance: I really like the way it is turning out! I already bought an ivory mat to match the fabric since I couldn't really choose a color to pick out. Plus, I don't know what room it will go in at my in-laws. Now I just need to find a frame. I'm thinking about a wooden one--probably medium colored. :thinks:

Okay, here's the promised pic. I'm taking a quick break from the eagle to update the pics and fix lunch for daughter and I. I have a ivory mat that I need to cut out the opening, and since I couldn't find a wooden frame that I liked, I bought a simple silver frame. Hopefully it will work out well.
