Re: Zelda II "Home Sweet Home"
Love the design - very homely!
I would like to suggest a couple of things though, if I may! (Don't worry, it's nothing bad!)
First, you might find it beneficial to the overall look of your stitch to give it a press with an iron (preferably after washing), it'll help with the slight crookedness.
Also, have you considered using a mat to surround the stitched area? It'll make it look fab and hide the fabric edges. You would need a bigger frame, though.
I think it's a nice piece, but it could be superb with a few finishing techniques! Please see Blocking: A How To and Ironing Your Projects: A How To for how to make your projects look their very best!
