I think the hardest part will be to find the frame I have in mind for it; I`ll probably have to raid every charity shop in town. Lol, I was toying with the idea of Klimt`s The Kiss but then decided that THAT was way too daunting! :) With all those golden yellows... so I picked Van Gogh`s Sunflowers instead, rofl! Btw I still need about a dozen colours for that one so it`s still on hold (plus a new commission`s in the post so my wee holiday is about to end tomorrow). Now back to Da Vinci - happy stitching!xstitchatozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094557170307542316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047055200187380382.post-47751727428045985432014-03-02T01:25:45.924+00:002014-03-02T01:25:45.924+00:00Gorgeous hippo boy!

I have this pattern in my stash, but don't want to start it yet - looks like a scary big project. I also have a pattern of Gustav Klimt's " Mother and Child" - another huge one...

I`m a one-at-a-time kinda girl, so I don`t have UFOs because I don`t start a new stitching until I finish the current one, but this particular picture has been dragging its feet for some reason. Quite ridiculous, really, if I think of the number of other projects I`ve finished in the meantime! :) Good luck with your projects and thank you for your comment, I`m glad you like wee George! ;)xstitchatozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094557170307542316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047055200187380382.post-7355553645446601472014-02-26T18:05:40.592+00:002014-02-26T18:05:40.592+00:00Your boy hippo is just as sweet!!!
