As I promised, I've got everything I need for the project. So I bought two books of Craig, but I think I will mostly use this one. Then, I've got Aida 22, and have chosen about 40 characters that I want to stitch. Ideally, I want to stitch 100 characters, but I can add them later. As it takes some time to develop the characters, probably I will develop them also in the process of stitching. The criteria I choose the characters... well, it's personal, first of all, and then I want them to be positive or associated with happy feelings. I wonder, how much time will it take for me to start stitching the first characer, and who will it be?:)
