Dollystitcher, the sparklies are Madeira #40 blending filament as recommended by our Mabel.

Here is another update - I'm still sticking with this until I finish the row, that way I might have a hope of finishing it in about another 4 sessions. I managed to get plenty of stitching done this week, I just seem to have been absent from the forum for a few days as work has been manic (which is where I normally log on).

Kathryn, there is loads of confetti in this - the worst parts are the brown borders which outline absolutely everything. Those little borders have about 12 different colours in them so they're very tedious. The mermaid herself isn't too bad, I manage to get quite big sections of the same colours on her hair and her skin for instance.

Imagine having 12 colours to make brown :-) -- glad other parts aren't quite so "bitty"! She's looking beautiful, and I love the sense of movement in her hair
