Re: My first SAL-updated 11/06/11-
Thankyou everyone for your kind comments
I've been stitching the stars now.....omg they are such a chore.....think I'm going off beading now!!
The stars are very slow going, having to count and recount for the placement is driving me nuts! So I'm not as far along as I would like but hey ho....but even though I have said that I'm finding the beads a chore, when I set down the piece and stand back and look at it I get that warm satisfied glow because I think they look soooooo pretty. I think I'm in a love/hate relationship !!

She looks beautiful!!!!!!
Don't worry about that love/hate thing at least you are loving it sometimes I had a hate/hate relationship with the beads I did.

The love/hate relationship is understandable with the beads, I am the same sometimes. Those darned little things just don't want to go on the needle when I want them to.
Having said that they really do set off the stitching and the whole picture so beautifully. Lovely stitching.

It's such a beautiful design. The beads will be worthwhile in the end, i'm sure.

The beading looks like it is very complicated and difficult work, but it is really making the piece come to life! Just gorgeous!
