My first stitch of 2026 was a little free kit that had been in my to do project bag for ages ..  years in fact. So long ago I no longer had the chart so I only had the photo to stitch from. 

I took this as my stitching (if I had time) on our cruise in December and I did make a start. I think the trickiest thing was working out the colours as there was three very light shades; creamy, beige and peachy. 

I'm so pleased how he came out, such a cutei character.



I haven't made him up yet but he'll be a Christmas card using the mount from the kit, although I will probably add some stars and a border.


Of course after I'd stitched him and was looking through my charts for my next project I found the chart, I'd saved the magazine page .... hee hee typical.
