Dimensions Counted Cross Stitch, Beacon At Daybreak Review

This one hangs framed in my bedroom. I like the quaint lighthouse, the welcoming stone pathway, and the gardens, which makes one want to mentally walk down that little path and explore it and the beautiful shoreline.
Like all the Dimensions Gold Petite kits, it is a great little project for beginning cross-stitchers or someone who is looking to make a great handmade heirloom gift for a loved one. The picture does not do the piece justice, it is an absolutely gorgeous piece when completed. There is enough detail and variety in the picture to keep the work interesting, but not so much that you go crazy with thread color changes. I did choose to make the lake water a little bluer in mine.
It is small, and can fit in your purse in a ziploc bag, so it is very likely to get done in a timely manner (unlike many of my other bigger projects!).
I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did. It would also make a great gift for anyone over 12.

Janlynn Cross Stitch Kit, 21-Inch by 6-Inch, Lighthouses Review

This is really a cute project. The colors (all 27) are beautiful and everything promised was included. You will have to bind the edges of the aida fabric with masking tape so they don't unravel (but this is true for other kits as well). It will take a while to complete but I think it will be well worth the effort. This is only 6 inches wide so keep that in mind. If you have a question, feel free to comment on this review and I will try to answer it.
