Cross stitch of me half way to finished

So anyway mum has always wanted a cross stitch of me her favorite bird in the world... ME... ;) she would hint to her friends who did cross stitch that she would even pay someone to do it but none of them got the hint.... hmmmm. So mum being mum decided she would do it herself. So she practiced a couple of hours on a little square and then went for it on the A4 picture of my head.
 
Here is her progress:
 
- 1st Dec 2012: Mum got an A4 piece of fabric and printed of an A4 cartoonized picture of me and drew a pencil outline of me on the Fabric this is the picture she is using

 
- 4th Dec 2012: Mum only did 2 hours on the 4th she is still a newby and this is how far she got. I am pretty chuffed with her I think she started off well
 
 
Anyway she put it down for a while as she had too much to do and other things that needed doing
 
- 28th Dec 2012: She took a little break and then had her work Xmas shut down from 21st Dec and she started doing the cross stitch again.. 1-2 hours a night and by the 28th this was how far she had got

 
  
So mum continued doing 1-2 hours a night until she returned to work on the 3rd, then slowed down a little again only doing 1-2 hours as and when she gets the chance
 
- 13th Jan 2013: I think she is about half way through, she has sped up a lot and is enjoying it so much. And this is how much she has done up until the 13th (yesterday)
