About this pattern

A little wishing well with a face, in soft pastels. A low peach-pink roof sits on two tan posts, and a pale wooden bucket hangs on its rope between them, its foot resting at the rim. The well itself is very pale grey stone edged in a darker grey, with two dark eyes, a one-stitch mouth and a pink blush mark at each side. No dark outline: each part is edged in a deeper shade of its own color. The left side mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 34 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 34 high: 650 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Light Pearl Gray 762, Light Steel Gray 318, Dark Yellow Beige 3045 and 5 more).
