A Mid-Winter Happy Dance!

PhotobucketPhotobucket

The cube is FINISHED!!!

Finally.  It only ended up taking five and a half months in total.  Actual stitching hours: approx 65.

It's got a rattle on the inside which I thought was rather clever.  It's one of those little cat toys - a rolling, rattly ball... I'd quite like to keep it for myself, LOL!

So, the nitty, gritty details:

Stitched on 16ct white aida. DMC floss.  Chart from "The World of Cross Stitching" magazine, issue 168.

    Thanks Noni :)

    One of the ladies at the about.com forum made a cube early this year, I swiped her idea and ran with it - found these charts designed to make a wall tidy, pocket thingy and thought they'd be perfect, turns out they were. Yay.
