I started stitching these a few years back and recently discovered them again - five were complete, one only needed a bit of back stitch, and the last two hadn't been started, so I thought I'd better finish the set before I got on with anything new. I stitched them on 18 count fabric, instead of the recommended 14 count, which proved really fiddly, but I think the end result makes them worth the effort, eye strain, and headaches... Doubt I'll stitch them again though. @_@

Most are just folded up in a bag away from hungry silverfish. I did cross-stitch for years because it killed a lot of hours before I discovered writing. Now I just don't have enough time for both.

Not enough hours in the day though *sigh*
