Description I started this piece back in February or March, while the hubs was still gone overseas. I have had bursts of working on it, followed by bouts of forgetting I even had it. That said, I didn't let myself get distracted by a second cross-stitch...even though I did have other craft projects going on with this. But this was my main stitching one! Now it is done and I can't wait to have it framed and on my wall!

Why thank you! Although, my only talent is being able to read the chart that came with the kit and have the patience to keep working on it. That plz amuses me greatly.

That is beautiful and yeah I know all about the sporadic bursts of work and then forgetting about it, i got a mermaid cross stitch that is going at about that pace

SparklyDest In reply to reflection13 [2009-12-31 01:18:15 +0000 UTC]

I had a dolphin one that took me ten years. I forgot I had it and ended up doing several others, and lots of other stuff, before I finally got around to finishing it. It is so rewarding once you do finally finish it.

reflection13 In reply to SparklyDest [2009-12-31 01:58:23 +0000 UTC]

It really is rewarding to finish one, especially if it's one that challeneged you to learn a new skill. My mermaid when I do finish it, will always be remembered as the one that taught me to do french knots, as it forced me to learn them with its 50 some french knot strings of pearls....

SparklyDest In reply to reflection13 [2009-12-31 02:16:32 +0000 UTC]

Oi, french knots were so daunting to me when I first started! But I have done so many now, that I don't even think about them now. They are just another part of finishing up the piece.

yeah... after doing all those pearls on the mermade they are a piece of cake

SparklyDest In reply to Katjakay [2009-12-31 01:16:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! It really was! I had just finished one with a bunch of neutral colors, the change to blue was really nice. Of course, I don't need to do one with a lot of blue for awhile now.

This is beautiful. I used to do cross-stitch all the time when I was younger...and before I had websites to run. It really is fun and relaxing.

Very nicely done; I'd love to do one that can be hung on the wall.

I don't have any room to hang it up, though.

SparklyDest In reply to catluvr2 [2009-12-30 02:16:40 +0000 UTC]

The first so many I did, about 7-9 or so, I gave away, usually to my mom. I was so happy when I finally started keeping them and adding them to my own wall. It is some of the only pictures I have on my walls. I really need to frame the prints I have been collecting so my walls don't look so empty...

Thank you!
