Robin

This is a design by Catherine Redford and it was in a collection of cross stitched Xmas cards in a cross stitch magazine years ago. I had cut it out and kept it to stitch and at last I managed to make it now for the challenge.
I used a piece of green evenweave from my stash which really troubled me with the green threads on it.
I also used mostly the recommended DMC threads white,red 321,blue826,light green 3347(instead for the recommended 3348), dark green 937, yellow 743, red 666(instead for the recommended 606), dark brown 400 (instead for the recommended 898), beige 437, sweet brown 355(instead for the recommended 433), yellow 746, black 310.
I am planning to make this into a small framed gift.
