I don't know how I managed to miss this entire thread Nic, but I'm so glad I found it this morning. What a wonderful project I think your idea of adding a jewel will finish it off perfectly. Lovely work.

OMG ! What wonderful comments, I am truely speechless (for once in my life). Didn't expect to get a response like this. Posted it ages ago and have only just logged in and read all your comments. Thank you so much, you've all made my day !
Thursday Next - of course I don't mind you using the 'jewel' idea. It was actually my boyfriends idea so I can't take the credit anyway !
I'm sorry to say I haven't done anymore on this for a while as I moved onto my Tiger pic for a while. I promise that I will get back to it asap though. There is actually quite a bit more left to do (unfortunately) as the dress goes to the left quite a bit more!
Thanks again guys, you are all fab!!!

Can't believe all your fantastic comments on this one! Very touched - thank you!!!
Here's another update - just need to do that big strip down the left hand side now and then i'm done. Still quite a bit of work though, unfortunately! Getting a little impatient now as I want this one done and dusted and want to start on something new (or go back to my HAED).
Hope you likely.....

This is such a beautiful and delicate design, is she for you or a gift, either way she will be stunning when framed, not what I would have picked but now I have seen it, nobody can argue - it is pertect.
Happy Stitching
