New Project, Update 2

As promised, photo updates on the mystery cross-stitch project.

WEEK 4:
I had to tear out the entire lefthand and top border and redo it, after discovering I had miscounted my yellow border stitches (that line all the way around, just inside the patchwork squares). It was a tedious three-day process and I'd like to say that was the only mistake I've made, but there have been others since. In fact, I had to tear out the blue line flowting near the top left last night upon discovering I was a row too high. Sigh...  I'm sure there will be plenty more corrected before this thing is done.

WEEK 5:
As you can see, I nearly finished the border, as well as the bottom title panel. Large blocks of one color tend to go much faster than a quarter stitch here, a three-quarter stitch there.

WEEK 6:
Finished the border and title panel, backstitched around letters, and started backstitch around the yellow border. Also started filling in around bottom of dress and am almost done stitching the "bellhop." I had to take out his arm/hand and the tray last night. Was too tired to redo the hand, so guess that's where i will probably start next.

CLOSE-UP OF BOTTOM SECTION:
Here's a closer view of the bottom area, so you can see the backstitching done. There is still a lot of that to go, as well as about one million French knots. Oy!
