Sometimes I'm indecisive, other times I just can't make my mind up :mysmilie_515:
I'll get it out in the morning and work out which room to do, I think it will be a bedroom!
It's this one http://www.atlascraft.co.uk/p55285/P...e/b0-2607-2607 (looks a bit blurry in the photo)
I bought it for about £40 I think! It is 49 x 64cm (19¼ x 25in) design size: 36 x 46cm (14 x 18in) - not sure it's quite as big as I thought, but it's pretty big.
I nearly did one on 26 count evenweave!

Beautiful, and by one of my favourite companies - love Lanarte as well but can be on the pricey side!!!!

That is a design I always wanted to do, but as I had so many unfinished WIP I managed to resist the temptation to buy it. Go for it - it's a stunning design and will look so good when it's finished.
Sorting Mam's cupboard today to see what other treasures I've forgotten!!!! YIKES!!!!!

I love Lanarte as well Suban, I have 2 of their Egyptian designs that cost me a fortune years ago - King Tut and Nerfertiti - both still in the back of a cupboard somewhere upstairs not looked at in a long long time. One of these days I'm going to get all my stitchy stuff in the one place so I can see what I have.
Our spare room is full of my cross stitch stuff. One problem is that I have my own stash, but I also inherit stash from other people. My husband goes to visit families to arrange funerals and because I'm known for my love of craft they unload Mum/Dad's stash onto him. It is hard to say no at times like that, but it does mean I can run a craft club at school with plenty of knitting stuff, Aida and threads.
BTW did you know how hard it is for youngsters to buy crafting equipment today. Some of my keen 12 year old knitters went to buy their own needles, but couldn't buy them as they were under 18. One said her mother was not allowed to buy them either as they were for her under-age daughter! Similar problems arose with scissors for cross stitch. While I know they have the potential to do harm, how are these skills supposed to be passed on to the next generation?

BTW - for the many cat lovers among you. DH has also come home from two funerals with unwanted moggies as he is known as a cat lover and there was no-one else who would take on the cat. So Munro and Kempis joined the long line of Vicarage cats with their vast jungle of garden territory - not to mention the fields behind.
Awww! How lovely! Mx
Love it!!! Vicarage cats!!!!
How silly about the knitting needles!!!!
Glad at least the kits aren't being just thrown out!!!
