That orange you picked is awesome! It really makes it pop!
I picked a more bricky red/orange, but I really like yours. Lettering looks flawless, too.

I've finished half of my top design, 1 "home" and working on the second.
As I stitch I get ideas so this is an ever evolving project. SO EXCITED.

Once EVERYTHING but the blue is done, I'm gonna feel a little less than discouraged, but this WILL get done!

I completely agree with that lettering. I like that much, much better. I have the castle in black almost finished so I may change my lettering. When you are done, please post the pattern and the colors you used!

I've been working on it SO much. Any chance I get!
I got some funny comments stitching on the GO train with my friends going to and from Pride down town. Haha.

ALL DONE!

Wow, seriously..this took forever! Sure I learned to knit, did several commissions and moved but still!
I'm still proud of this despite some problems I had with thread, and I had to switch from strands of 3 thread to strands of 2 for the blue when I thought I was gonna run out and I was right, I would of it I continued with 3 strand.
