Nearing completion – 1 down, how many to go?

I have about 5 wips on the go at the moment, and earlier in August, I had 2 weeks holiday where I planned to make tracks into at least one.  I had hoped to get the “my big toe” design finished before I went back to work, but that didnt happen, unfortunately.

They are a Christian based cross-stitch design company located in Boise, Idaho, but unfortunately, dont sell their designs to the public themselves.  I therefore had to find a vendor over here, and chose Lekker Threads from which to order copies of  Reflections [...]
