I usually do not choose kits to stitch mainly because of the fabrics used. I prefer linens or even weaves, and most times only stitch on aida fabric when I stitch Amish designs. So when I saw this little kit offered from Riolis, I through it was a nice design for a model, and did not want to change a thing. I used everything that was included in the kit including the rustic aida, and if you look closely, you will see that the stitches are only half cross stitches. Nothing hard, can be completed in a few days. I used a premade brown 5" x 5" frame. Isn't he cute!
