Five down and seven to go

I think this must be the longest anyone has taken to stitch Christmas At Hawk Run Hollow.  Talk about dragging it out.  Stitching always seems to be at the end of my to do things these days.  I keep promising myself that I will stitch each night but it just doesn't happen.  Anyway, back in July I finished Block five so here it is:
    

 

and a view of progress so far:

I guess it is not going to be finished in time for this Christmas either as I have started to stitch a birth sampler for my Grandson. 

 

I chose SB The Promise and will work in his details towards the end of the sampler.  I chose to stitch it in AVAS because I had all of the threads, but it is very pale.  Not a lot to show at this stage:

 

The colour is not good here as this is 32 count Belfast Platinum, so not grey at all.

 

 

So that is about it for now.  I should be taking advantage of a free day and sitting outside in the beautiful spring sunshine instead of fiddling around on the computer.

As always, thanks for popping in,
