Am I right to assume "FO" is "Finished object"?

Slow going, but I've had a busy week. Had a wild Friday night with the last of the back stitching.

Now to figure out what to do with it.. Frames can be expensive. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ While I think on it, on to the next one that's been sitting for a few months ready to go!

Happy Friday, everyone.

Nope! I've never read/seen Harry Potter (I, too, live under a rock). Beatrix Potter is the English author from the late 1800s who wrote The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, among others. When I was a kid I had a set of her books, and her illustrations (which she herself painted in watercolors) had the whimsical quality that your cross-stitch has. ๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿงก

Aww, thanks for sharing that, that's lovely. I've read the Tale of Peter Rabbit when I was a kid, too, but back then, I wouldn't have remembered any authors, just the stories. ๐Ÿ˜
