My WIP list is coming down

Well, I finish all the backstitch and specialty stitches on the Tori Center. The new picture is in my webshot album. I packed it away yesterday for the moment and gone back to my wip. I picked up this small Doctor bear as it was very close to finishing. I restarted this while I was away 2 months ago. It's only a small kit but there are a lot of fractional stitches in it. The kit originally comes in 18 count Aida, would you believe ? After I realised about the fractional stitches, I tossed it away quickly and restarted it on 32 count linen. And I am glad with that decision. The backstitch on the briefcase looks ugly on the design, it uses white for some reason. I dislike the picture of the smodel on the kit. So I changed it to brown and cut out on many of them. You can't see it well on the picture but it is a bit better. Anyway here is a picture of it

At least now, my wip list is down to 10 now. Maybe I should get it down to single digit..... But then again I would probably just start some more projects LOL. I already have quite a few ready to go.
