Cross Stitch Photo's

I've not done cross stitch in such a long time and while in the newsagents today I came across a cross stitch magazine and I'm inspired once again. At first I was thinking of something small but after looking through some family photographs I found the perfect one.

This is a photo of my grandad when he was in the Royal Air Force.

I have been thinking about him a lot lately and wanted more photo's of him around the house so I thought I would have a go at cross stitching this photo so I can frame it and have it in my living room.

I love an ambitious project and realise it is going to take me forever to finish it as I want it about 8 x 10".

Off to buy all the materials, hope my local shop has all the DMC thread colours I need.

I will post updates of it as I go along. I may even do some smaller cross stitch items in between as I usually work on multiple projects so I don't get bored.
