Poor, poor Stitchin’ Richard! He has been neglected so! I blew the dust off the cross stitch bag Thursday afternoon, and I swear SR had a look of despondency about him. I vowed to do what I could to make it up to him. I finished off the colored portion of the page. I’m sure I heard him rumbling in satisfaction as I put the last few stitches in! Friday after class, I did some more stitching. I put in just over 1,000 stitches of the background. I’m happy with the progress. Maybe I can finish the page in time for my second RAnniversary!
In two days, I did around 1,300 stitches. Here’s a photo update in case you are interested:
Hopefully tomorrow will be another good stitching day. 🙂

You are having a stitchin’ good time, it looks like. Good job! Love those pics of him, by the way. Call it his Russian sea captain look. 😀

Hi ItsJSforMe,
Wow! Your Stitchin’ Richard image looks fabulous! I can’t wait to see your final result! Will it be made into a pillow cover that you can snuggle up to? Cheers! Grati ;->

Thanks Grati! 🙂 I was considering a pillow, but I’m not sure I could deal with the possibility of it getting dirty, after I put all that work into it!

As long as you don’t stitch in the mouth, he won’t be able to complain 🙂
Glad you’re back.

Excellent cross stitch. I wandered where he had got to after he left Spooks – good to know he’s still about – I must watch the Hobbit soon. Thanks for the post.
