Someone was not patient and decided to divorce me yesterday. I want to thank the remaining followers for their patience. I'm glad you're still here and I appreciate all your comments. 
So what did I choose? A new Lanarte? A beautiful Dimensions? Nope. I fell in love with one of the latest Margaret Sherry: stitch in time ( a kit by Anchor). You can't blame me, right?
How could I resist such cuteness? But I learned my lesson from my other M sherry design: not only there are lots of backstitches ( but I doesn't bother me too much), there are also lots of half stitches. I had to find a solution to not get crazy. So what did I do? I simply changed the fabric and switched for a hand dye solo by Silweaver. I will get the same effect in the middle and won't bore you with my endless whines about my half cross stitches nightmare !!! Aren't you lucky?

And here is a close-up:
The back stitches are again hard to stitch so I'm using both charts when I stitch to see if I should make stitches or quarter stitches. It does help to make a more realistic design !!!
Thanks for the compliments about my summer fruits finish. I don't feel I'm such a fast stitcher but I'm a regular stitcher so that helps
( and also I don't start a new project until the last one is finished ... well, most of the time 
). Have a great week end.

How cute! The fabric is fabulous!
If the kit had Aida, the switch was a good one! And the color of it really looks nice too! Your mouse is cute already. I used to stitch one at a time, but now with the internet and finding these monster projects, I have to do more than one or I would get bored.
What a cute design! Good plan switching out the aida. I hate doing fractional stitches on it.
Lovely start. Such a cute design. Good idea to change the Aida.
That is a very cute design. I think you made a very good choice in fabric too!
Being a huge Margaret Sherry fan, I approve of your new project! Great new start!

I don't like half stitches either. The pattern is really cute though! Can't wait to see your finish. :)
Very cute. I love the fabric choice.
What a cutie pie... perfect choice. I love your choice of fabric, and wait for more progress..
Ps.. I have a award for you on my blog!! It's only in Dutch, if you dob't onderstand it, let me know..
So cute! I can totally understand why you want to stitch this one. :) Great start.
He's so cute. Yes, it's the Joan Elliot native indian girl. And there is an alphabet from her in it too. And in a magazine a little later, the male indian is in it too. It's a Dutch magazine, but it's nicely explained.
I love Margaret Sherry's creatures, too, Chiloe--they are always so happy and energetic looking. Great start!
I love the little mice very much, they are so cute. And you made a nice start on them.
What a cutie-pie mouse! :D
This is soooo adorable! Love it!
Oh so cute! And what a great start! Sorry you were divorced by some weirdo lol
Such a cute design!!! I wonder how you get the cutest of designs!!!
I seem to have missed your giveaway, thanks to being away from the blogs for quite a while now :( Hope your husband is recovering from his big loss
It's a beautiful design that you choose and the fabric is very nice too!
Now isn't that just the cutest thing? I haven't seen that one yet and much better fabric choice for it. :) I'd NEVER divorce you. lol
Three mice stealing my heart like that... Hmmm
Hi! Nice start! Looks great!
Maybe the divorce came for no patience waiting for your giveaway!lol! ;) Keep the good work!

My first visit to your blog! Love that Margaret Sherry design - I can't bear all that back stitch though! When I stitch them I always switch the fabric too
Just ADORABLE! That is perfect for you :o) I love the fabric you decided to use too.
Beautiful fabric & very cute design!
Ohhhhh c'est trop mignon ! J'adore ces souris !!!
Oooh that is a very nice design!! Nice start too. I couldn't resist this design either. Can't wait to see your progress on it.
Gosh ...He's so cute.The fabric is beautiful and fits perfectly with the adorable picture! Wonderful start!
