I think I'm calling it.

Finished, that is.
Nesting Chickens
From Vanessa Ann's Holidays in Cross Stitch 1995
I MIGHT have missed some of the back stitching on the brown chicken, but no one will ever know!  As much as I don't like color charts, I must admit that in this case, a color chart would definitely have helped.  Trying to find the black outline on a black and white chart was darned hard....even with the model pic to squint at.
The finished size is about 6" x 6", and I think this will be finished as a pillow.  But for now, no more chickens!  Maybe tonight I'll dive back into La-D-Da's "The Ark," or Cross-Eyed Kat's "Labyrinth."  Both deserve to be finished this year...must resist the siren song of the stash cupboard.....
