So I jazzed it up a bit...

...and here's the result! I love it! I hope he loves it too, but I don't think he will until he's older, I think his parents will appreciate it more, lol. Matthew thinks it's great! I have to get on with his door plate now, although he says he's not going to have it on his bedroom door until he gets his new bedroom when Darryl moves out with Abby.

Now the following image is what I should be stitching... isn't it gorgeous????? I bought this kit about a year ago and have so far scanned part of the chart, coz it's SO tiny... I think I'm out of my depth on this one. It's not the black aida that's so daunting, it's the chart! I think I need to use some highlighter pens and use them on the scanned chart so it's easier for me to see. What an achievement though if I manage it!!
