He is majestic. The subtle change of colour from darkish red/cerise to the purple of his robe is beautiful and I :wub: the peacock's tail feathers.

This piece is so gorgeous! I thought it was impressive before but I love it even more now with the peacock and the dragonflies! I went back through the thread and saw that it's taken you about five months, I feel like something like this would take me three years! I hope to be able to stitch as fast and as beautifully someday!!

Next up is "Hardanger Christmas House". Hopefully, I can get this one done in time for this Christmas. I've no idea if that's possible as I haven't done any Hardanger before! I always jump in at the deep end with something new! wish me luck!

This is the "yummy" stash that I'll be using!

I can't wait to see the next one. WOW. It will be beautiful. I ordered a book that Mabel recommended for hardanger stitching and am eager to start also. I am going to follow your progress on the house with lots of interest.

He is super fantastic!!!!!! :applesauce:

I have looked at the Hardanger project you are going to try but since it involves cutting I won't do it. I look forward to seeing what it looks like as you progress.
