A Finish!

I did it!  I beat my deadline!  Kelli if you're reading this stop!  My Tinkerbell is finished and can be shipped off tomorrow to DH's friend.  It's doing it's last bit of drying right now before we frame it but it should be there in time for Christmas. 

The words are a line from a song from the movie.  It's in pins because that's how I stretch and remove the wrinkles from my pieces so I don't flatten the stitches with an iron.  It still looks a little wrinkly but that's mostly because of where my light source is.  I may spray it again tonight and see if that helps them release more but I'll check it when it's completely dry.  This one was really tough for me.  Most of the backstitching was done inside the squares on the aida or inbetween the holes.  And by most I mean almost all of it.  And each flower had like ten stitches per petal of backstitching to make all of the curves.  What I thought took one day actually took 5.  I'm really glad this one is over.

I'm not starting my Paradise piece until the new year so I may continue on my Magical World until then.  I still have to grid Paradise though and work out the wording so we'll see.

Until next time stitchers,
Stitch long and prosper!
