Ok so the sunny weather went away as was to be expected so back to stitching. I made a start on my mothers portrait and decided to do tent stitch as the count of the fabric was only small (22). And I'm very impressed with the speed, I might have to try this again. This is only 4 days work so I'm very pleased with it.

I'm determined that when I'm finished this one that I will go back to Celtic Spring and finish her off and then it's back to my Sprit of Winter which has been sorely neglected I'm afraid. Now I realise what a difference tent stitch makes to time I'm itching to do a HAED on 25ct in tent stitch - I must not start another HAED before finishing Spirit of Winter, it would be really, really wrong!
