Finally Finished!



Wow, I tell you this has been one of the longest projects I have worked on in my life! After a year and a half, it is finally finished. Ok, so it didn't help that I sold a house, bought a house, moved twice, and started an Etsy business during that time, as well.

"Sacred Connection" by Dimensions Gold designs, stitched on 18 count navy blue Aida fabric. Stitching on such dark fabric is a real challenge to the eyes! Definitely needed extra light for this one.  And instead of so many french knots for all the little stars, I used white Mill Hill glass beads. 

I already stitched a companion piece, "Hidden Spirits," in 2008.  Another tough one, but somehow didn't seem to take so much time.  Maybe I have selective memory.

So, Happy Father's Day, Dad!  Now you have the set to finish decorating.  Enjoy!
