Though as you will see mine certainly is a Ta-dah! moment - it only took me ten years :) That design is very appealing and I've been known to change the colours myself if they don't look right. I get the mag on iPad now so no kits (probably a mercy) but I have such a stash of threads and Aida it hardly matters. I love looking at all the ideas in the magazine and I don't really need it but it's so cheap on Zinio. I must check this little lady out. The Bruce Willis? No thanks!
