Page 1 Row 1 done

The first 800 stitches have been completed in this project!  I now have the first row on page 1 done.  There weren't as many color changes or confetti as I expected so that's nice, but with the big blocks of the same color I noticed I got bored easily.  That could be because the colors are so dark there's not much of a difference in them.  I have also noticed that it is stitching up darker than what it looks in the project sample picture but that is okay, it will look fantastic when done.  Also in column 4 I seem to have gridded only 9 spaces instead of 10 so if it looks like I'm off on my gridding I am.  I just pretended I didn't notice my mistake and am just sorta ignoring the gridding till I can fix my problem.  Here are the update pictures I just took!

Start Pictures!

Well I have officially started my first non-freebie HAED (Heaven and Earth Design).  I have completed the first 100 stitches and thought I would mark the occasion with some pictures of the first 100 stitches. The colors are all very similar so I hope the camera picked them up well enough!  The first square (10x10 square) was mostly one color with a few other colors added in.  Here they are!!
