VS Gingerbread House

I've been working on my Gingerbread Stitching House by Victoria Sampler this week. This is a long term project that I usually pull out in November and work on through December.  I'm making good progress, considering the few hours I've put into it.  After my Scream House finishing fail this fall, I am motivated to get this piece together.  I can already tell from the finishing instructions, that this one will be easier than that one.

My son gave me the linen and embellishments several years ago, so I want to make sure and get it done.  He checks on my progress every now and then, and that keeps me motivated.  The linen was a giant piece, so I chopped it in two to make the stitching easier.

The front, back, biscornu and fob:


The sides:                                                                                                                                                


I had to order more pearl cotton for the roof and finishing.
