Here is what I have so far:
I still haven't figured out what to do with the date that should go between the initials.
The stitches are tiny, tiny, tiny!
I just finished Freelove Hazard, which was stitched one over one, however, it was on 25 count linen.
There is a big difference between one over one on 25 ct and one over one on 35ct!
Not having a lot of fun here!
The little brick house measures all of 3/4" X 2/3", smaller than a postage stamp!
Stitching the mortar between the bricks nearly killed me!
Frankly, I am a little surprised that this is suggested for a beginner. The directions are sketchy, and somewhat incomplete. To stitch it as it is shown in the photo, the chart does not work. I finally held the little photo up to the magnifier and counted. A minimum of 4 extra rows have to be added under the initials, to make it work. I think there is probably an error in printing the chart.
I guess that is why it says to only do the top and the left of the border until you know if it fits.
Also, there are 8 different colors, but the descriptive name didn't really match the colors, so it was difficult to tell what was what. I would think a beginner would find the tiny stitches very difficult. You can't do much in the way of frogging here when the stitching is so tight.
I am already looking forward to my next project which will definitely not be one over one!

I bet it's challenging, but it sure is pretty - well done so far!
35 count! You are brave! It is looking good so far though, perhaps a break for a couple of days will make you enjoy it again once you return to it :) x
Well, it's looking beautiful even if it's difficult. It will be worth the effort in the end, it really will. So tiny! Love it!
Oh gosh, one over one - my eyes would not be happy. However, your stitching is looking really cute! Hang in there!
It looks wonderful and you are brave. I would not even attempt over one on 36 ct. I'm lucky to go over two on the higher counts!
Wowwww so pretty..well done dear x
It's so pretty, but yeah--over one--ugh. I do it best on high count where I can do a half stitch rather than a complete stitch. Good luck!
Looks beautiful, but certainly sounds like hard work.
You are doing a wonderful job, but certainly not for a beginner! That's an eye killer for sure!
Over 1 on 35?! Oh my aching eyes just thinking about it. You're doing a great job.
