Thank you for your kind comments on my Enchantress. This afternoon I sneaked out into my conservatory and completed the cross stitching on my Geisha:
The temperature started dropping so I didn't get time to do the backstitching. Hopefully I will do that tomorrow

She looks so elegant! Looking forward to her backstitched finish.

The backstitching is done:
And the two of them together:
I also have a single rather large Lilly flower which looks to be in a similar style done by the same company around the time these were available so might do it to make a group of three cross stitches.... I have to decide before I order the frames
I have started another fun piece for the conservatory

Lovely. Perhaps frame all three as a triptych?

Thank you for your kind words. I have just dug out the Lilly kit:
The frame work behind flowers reminds me of the background behind the first Geisha. It is not a very big piece and is on 16 count rather than the 14 of the two Geishas

It would complement them beautifully, on whatever count!

Lovely. If you stitched it on 14ct, would it be the same size as the geishas?

I agree. The geishas are gorgeous, so delicate. And the lily will be equally gorgeous.

Thank you
I felt the need of something comforting so in my conservatory its Bath time:
I need to do a bit more on my Enchantress

It is difficult to concentrate with all that is going on in the world

Thank you
Post Img seems to be down this morning so I am having to host my progress picture on my model engine forum and link to here to show you where I am on my Enchantress:
Hopefully I will get her finished for the beginning of spring
