Thanks everyone for your lovely comments! :wub:

I managed to get a few beads in yesterday and I have to say I :wub: how the ladybugs turned out! (sorry, I can't take any pics until Big One is in school on Monday) I'm itching to do more, but it'll have to wait until after bed time tonight. :ratherbe: :D

No, it's not finished yet, but, we do have beads now! I've got most of the bottom half beaded and I'm so very pleased with how it looks I just had to share.

It's looking fantastic! You're making me itch to start on mine. I've got the beads but not the floss or fabric.

:dance: She's Finished!!! :dance: I'm so pleased with how she turned out. Now I can't wait until Sunday when I give it to Big One.

Here she is in all her glory:

And her lovely face:

The colors are more true in the second picture so you can get an idea of the fabric color. Next week I'll take it over to my LNS and see about getting it framed.

Thanks for looking!
