All colours are DMC. The outline and all the symbols are done in 4215 which is a variegated thread. Rules for Life is done in 157. Trust is 153, Hope is 157, Keep your Promises is 333 and Dream is 553.
I'm really enjoying stitching on this and already thinking about how I might get it framed.
I'm rotating back on to my Baby Sampler project next as this is my focus piece. I should hopefully have it finished in the next month.
This week I finally received the flowers I won for the Letter of the Month in Cross Stitcher Magazine. I had to chase it up a couple of times which I was a bit disappointed about but at least I got them in the end. I don't mean to sound ungrateful but if I spent £25 on these flowers I would be very disappointed. I am enjoying having them in the house though and they are a gorgeous colour - especially the gerbera which is my favourite flower.
I also had a lovely surprise when I came home from work today. My husband had taken the day off work to look after our little boy and he found time to hang my latest framed piece for me.
The nicest thing was I hadn't had to ask him to do it he just did it off his own back!

Well done on getting your letter of the month prize. The flowers are nice, but I do agree that £26 seems a lot of money for them. I love the colours though.
