Hey peoples! I introduced myself earlier and promised pictures... and here they are!



This is a really old project, as in one of my first projects that got lost in my closet a million years ago old, and it would be nice to finally finish it. I still have the rest of the ferns, which are half-stitch, and three dragonflies plus all the back stitching to do. Hopefully it won't take long to do, it's only taken around 7 years to get to this point lol


And here's my other project, somewhat more recent:



This is a surprise present for my mom. She's a huge Mother Teresa fan and I thought it would be a nice gift (also, somewhat cute since it would be from her daughter Teresa haha) Anyways, I started this probably two years ago and it too got lost in the closet. Before I came home for winter break, all I had done was the head covering (all the blue and white stitching) and the wording. Since I've been home I've done the face and the top part of the hand. Then I get to flip the chart over! Woo!

So anyways, that's my progress and project pictures so far!

Very nice projects and I hope you manage to complete both of them very soon. Mother Teresa is very nice---great stitching!!

they are lovely projects, especially well done is the Mother Teresa. Very life like and I'm sure your Mother will love it. Do you have any new ones planned?

Those are amazing projects!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your work, very nice! The detail in Mother Theresa's face is really impressive. Great stitching!

That is really great and how wonderful you found both of them, along with the charts and threads still.

The Butterflies are lovely and bright and Mother Teresa is so very special and sooooo life like too.

Very well done.

Beautiful projects!

Mother Teresa is looking fantastic!! Your mum will be thrilled

Beautiful projects. Mother Teresa is very lifelike.

Oh, the butterflies are beautiful and you are making great progress on Mother Teresa !!!

Great work! I love butterflies and Mother Teresa will be very appropriate.

Great looking projects! I'm sure your Mom will love the Mother Teresa. It looks amazing!

Beautiful projects. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks everyone! I finished more of the ferns on the butterfly, and the upper half of the hand on Mother Teresa, so only 3/8 pages left!

Great projects! I hope you'll be able to finish up both quickly. Mother Theresa is gorgeous.

I did an update yesterday, and here are the pictures!

I was able to do some more on both last night/this morning, so I'm hoping to at least be able to finish Flying Beauties before I leave for New Orleans next Friday



And here's Mother Teresa. It's hard to make measurable progress when the person it's a surprise for likes to stay home, but I think it's coming along well considering how much I've gotten done while I've been home.

So pretty!!!!!!!

Thank you!

stunning updates!! The butterflies are coming along great and Mother Teresa looks so very lifelike!!!
