Thank you so much for posting those stitch counts! I'm going to start with the world map, and branch out to the smaller ones. :yahoo: :good:

I actually went shopping today, and with the help of my "Thread Hunter" husband, we quickly snagged all but two colors. I will have to go back to get the rest of the blue, and a green, which both needed eleventy-billion skeins. :P Now I'm going to finish up my current WIP, and start this one!

Soon. ;) :nod

Well after 1.5 skeins of blue I decided I needed a break from it.

Very nicely done! :)

I'm so excited that I have the materials to start mine. All that's stopping me is finishing this last WIP! :nod

I was finally able to start, you guys!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

This project is on 25 ct Laguna, stitched over one. I really lucked out, as I thought that I'd have to order a new crossbar, and a new set of scrolls, for my frame. The finished design size allows me to keep everything the same, thank Heavens. :thumbsup:

It's not much, but here's what I have, after two days of ocean.

and my helper:

Please note Lego HP in the background! Lol! That's the next generation of gamers hard at work!

Thanks so much for looking! :tri

Great start...can't wait to see more!
It's always funny how helpers seem to gravitate when we're crafting...my cat is never far behind when I'm working on a project!

At least he behaves himself. My big fat Maine Coon likes to grab at all the threads on my Pako Needle Organizer. Lol! :club:

I may pick up a magnifier for my Ott Lite. I'm doing okay with the fabric count, but I'm not sure if that will change 6 months, a year down the line. Lol! I'm a "one project at a time" kind of girl, so there'll be nothing else until this is finished. I don't want to go blind half way through!

At the moment I'm alternating between the blue and greens.

I would say my helper is my cat...but no
