Check here for the before. (I think there was work done since February that went unphotographed!) Here she is now:
There will be more action on this one because I have two stitch-y Sundays planned. People are coming chez van Schurman this weekend (whee!) and in two weeks there's another alumnae club craft circle. And, my mother's birthday looms (in cross stitch time*). Also, you know Michelle, she's really nice and I promised her.
*Most people would probably say that April 4, 2009 is aeons away. But if you subtract a month for framing, two months for beading, and the very slow progress I've made in the last year, it's like this piece is due tomorrow!
She is already beautiful- finished she will be GORGEOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is looking great, and your Mum will love her.
ReplyDeleteI have this as a UFO in my stash too ... perhaps looking at yours will give me motivation - mine is going to be a present for my partner.
ReplyDeleteWow! Go fot it!!
ReplyDeleteYou have stitching friends coming to chez van Schurman? I wish I were there.

Excellent progress! Looks great.
ReplyDeleteWould love to be in town for tea and stitchery, but am going west to visit some cows this weekend when it stops raining. I hear MLB already has plans for rescheduling baseball games 'cause of the weather on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThis project looks really awesome IRL!
ReplyDeleteThat was so much fun today. :)
I think I left my red pashmina at your house ~ I'm sorry. I'll get with you about picking it up?
Looks great - thank goodness you only have 1 mermaid to stitch...I have two! Although, they are for me...because I'm greedy. I do love your mermaid on that fabric too!
