Hello again!
Another day of great sports yesterday - track and field, diving, skateboarding, and even a bit of rock climbing which, although I didn't find very interesting, was miles better than watching golf!
My new start was the fourth of the planned Harry Potter themed snow globes. This is Shell Cottage where Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour lived after their marriage. It's also the location of Dobby's grave :(
Shell Cottage Snow Globe by MIYAstitch (etsy)
Stitched on 16ct Grey Swirl over-dyed aida
Stitch count 66 wide by 91 high
Started - 5th August 2021
Stitching time to date - 1 hour 30 minutes
For a bit of variety I thought I'd better start on a part other than the outside, so here's a little bit of the cottage itself. Without any backstitching it looks a bit like a spooky castle!
Fun Olympic Fact
In the inaugural 1896 Athens Olympics there were 241 competitors. By Rome 1960 that number topped 5,000, and by Atlanta 1996 10,000. In Tokyo 11,090 athletes were registered, slightly down on Rio 2016, but that was only to be expected. With so many athletes participating across an increasing number of sports, no wonder the Olympics has become so expensive to host!
Now to start counting down the final three days of Olympics and the final three new starts. And I'm looking forward to them all!
Take care,

Lovely start on this one! I think Shell cottage is where Bill and Fleur lived. :) I just rewatched the movies.
