Sprite Stitch Board!

Hi everyone! I've been lurking on the site for a couple weeks now and finally decided to try my hand at one of the patterns after getting a gift card to Michael's for Christmas. I decided on the Tanooki Suit Mario that I found here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1724. And after working for about 8 hours yesterday I got this far
I'm hoping to finish the outline of the face today after work so I can start filling it in some. Anyway, I was really excited and wanted to share. This site is amazing and I'm so glad I found it!

Well, I tried to put the picture up there but I'm not sure what I did wrong. Here's the direct link - http://www.flickr.com/photos/musicgroupie03/5297184746/
