Another mad fit of stitching today and yesterday! I have finished her chest and started the amazing jacket!!! Yet more bling!!!

Image

One a side note beads are no longer fun, pretty and new! They are now time consuming, unbelievably fiddly and generally a pain in my ass! I was nearly in tears after this necklace and was about sobbing when I saw the neckline of her bodice is all beads!!! I thought I was finished with them until the treasure chest!!! :cry:

Thought it best i leave that part until later when I'm not in danger of breaking down lol!!

Anyhoo close up of the necklace and bane of my life!!!

Oh this is so pretty but I can totally understand your frustration with the beads.

Your stitching is so neat!

Thanks everyone I'm so proud of her!!!

I'm just finding the beads fiddly! I'm not liking the beading needle, never used one before and the beads are just so time consuming!! They're gorgeous once they are on its just getting them on and getting them to sit on the right place (I have a complex about placement lol)
