How many stitches???

Yesterday I worked out that my Panda Collage cross stitch consists of around 51,000 stitches. Eek!!! I've done around 5,000 already though so nearly 10% of the way through. I do wonder how long it will take me to complete.

I plan to start another project soon, Faces of Faery 185 from Heaven and Earth Designs. I'm just waiting for the fabric and starting threads to arrive. This is what it will look like when it's finished...

I'm still working on the birth sampler, and that should be complete by Christmas. I'm also hoping to start on the Kawaii Winter Wonderland Countdown from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. Again, I'm waiting on fabric and threads arriving, but I may have to put the Faery and Panda Collage on hold so that I can complete the countdown before the start of December. It would be nice if my Daughter can countdown to Christmas with it this year rather than next!

So, onto an update of the Panda Collage.... I've spent some time in hospital recently and have had a hard time of things so my mind hasn't been so much on stitching. HoweveI'm just about to start on the bird underneath the giraffe, and I've already made a few stitches on the koala too.
