The design makes me long for those warm, sunny, summer days...
....sand between your toes...
... listening to the waves ...
.... basking in the sun on those long glorious summer days....
...you can tell I'm fed-up of winter....can't you?!!!
So while I'm shivering in what feels like sub arctic temperatures here, I'll look at the lighthouse and know that Spring will eventually come and summer won't be long after!
The design is a kit by Dimensions and is one of their Gold Collection Petites, called 'Cliffside Beacon'. It's stitched on 18 count cream aida with....wait for it.....enough threads in the kit!!!! In fact, this is what I had left over....
...can't complain at that!
Soooooo, what shall I start on now.....?!!!
Watch this space! :)
Until next time...happy stitching!

Oh wow Rhona that is spectacular! An absolutely fantastic finish and a beautiful design. Well done for getting all the white done on it.
Big big big congratulations on your finish. I know this chart has not been easy for you at times but you have stuck with it and the reward is a beautiful piece of cross stitch. Well done you!
As for your next start, you don't have a stash page so it definitely will be a surprise! :)
Wow, that is so beautiful! Makes me wanna go to the beach too! Awesome finish:)
It's beautiful! I especially love the outlining of the fence as it gets closer to the foreground. Congrats on the finish!
Oh Rhona what a beautiful finish! Gorgeous summery colours and the shading is fantastic . I have one of those little kits, Overlook Cafe, and you've inspired me to pick it up!

Congrats on your finish and I totally agree! I HATE cold weather! IF only I lived closed to someplace that looked like that, I could die happy.

Fabulous! It's a lovely design and well stitched. What are you going to do next?
Your lighthouse is beautiful. I want to step right into that scene. I love when there is leftover thread from a kit.
It's looking great !! Congrats :)
I have started my first dimensions kit and I found that the cream Colored aida fabric is not soft as cotton. Did you find it difficult to stitch?
I have sorted the threads on to bobbins and I suppose they might be of some use when I stitch other dimensions kits.
It is so beautiful!
Well done on the finish! it looks stunning!
