I really wish I could take better photos of my work. Someone should really do an online tutorial as I see lots of wonderful photos out there. Anyway, here is my Shepherds Bush start on "French Heart". I love the specialty stitches even though both the linen and the floss are so pale it can be hard to see where my needle is going. I'm not quite sure what to think of the angel though. It seems to have Groucho Marx eyebrows. I think I'm being hard on any stitched faces lately. I'm still not sure what to do about this face. Maybe I am being too picky? I'll keep going with this one, though, as the other motifs might make up for it.
What a great start, isn't that one of the main advantages of a new year, we can all start a new project :).

Great start on French heart. It looks very delicate. You certainly won't focus on the angel's face any more when more motifs are stitched.

Gorgeous - I have this one in my stash - must stitch it!!!
I reckon to keep going with the chart and if you still don't like the eyebrows take them out then.
