Lazing on a sunny afernoon! / Part 1

This is a photo of my first big cross stitch project.

It is a row of beach huts designed by Lisa Reakes.

It is nearly finished! I hope to finish the white beach hut and the details this week.

I am a little bit shocked how long I need to finish this project.

The magazine says approx. 50 hours....... maybe 50 years???

o.k. to be honest I started the project with nearly about no experience of cross stitching.....

Later in the chart I found fractional stitches and French knots...

I had no idea about these stitches.....

You see I am a totally beginner!!!

I really like this colourful design!!!

Can't wait to start my next nautical cross stitch project.
