Thanks Mabel--I admit I rather enjoyed doing the beading, and the shade of bead you asked about is Mill Hill 00374 rainbow--I used the petite ones though as this was stitched on 32 ct fabric, so the number was actuall 40374

I must say a big THANK YOU to MaggieM for being so very nice as to not only give me information for what needle I need to sew those petite beads on, but to send me one in the mail!!! Thanks again Maggie!!! I could not have done the beading nearly as easily without your generosity!!

Karen, how many of the goddesses have you done now? You should start a thread and post all your goddess finishes in one thread, I'd love to see them altogether! They are gorgeous and you're doing such a wonderful job stitching them and so quickly too!

Beautiful! I've never beaded anything. Looks difficult but great result!

Congratulations on an absolutely stunning finish!!!

Beautiful finish! This is absolutely gorgeous!!

Dana, this is the only Goddess I've done. I did one of the Flower Fairies a while back--Iris Fairy. Fizzbw has done all of the Goddess ones though

Oops, for some reason I thought it was you, sorry...

No need to apologize--I only wish I had done them all!! Great designs but there's so many nice ones to stitch, a girl never has enough time lol

i need to get going..i am almost done w/ the spring fairy..i need to do the other 3 seasons, the flower ones, and the element ones. I've got a loooong way to go! lol

You are going to be a very busy stitcher!!!

By the way, have you got a thread that I missed on your Tatty Teddy trimming the tree?
I have a feeling it has got to be really cute. I love the name anyway.

I haven't got a thread started yet for Tatty Teddy trimming the tree--I'm going to try and start one soon, it won't take too long to finish--that being said, tatty's fur is always a right tricky thing to do, with the backstitching, but it's always worth it!!!

How surprising -- I've used that shade in several projects, and the ones I have look like an oil slick, you know, black but with lots of coloures on the surface; I hadn't realised this was the same shade !

Great description of those beads Mabel--and I agree--yet they manage to look so nice added to stitching!! I have a feeling I will be using them again!
