Nearly there....

I've been trying to get Queen Mermaid finished and finally, I'm down to just backstitching and beading left to do.  Yay!

She's got a lot of beads so that will no doubt take a little time.   Good thing I have a day off tomorrow!

More Queen Mermaid

She's getting close to a finish!   Probably next month.

Progress on Queen Mermaid

It's a Mermaid SAL week, so I've been giving Queen Mermaid some attention.  

She's stitching up very quickly, but I ran out of 085 Kreinik, so I have to order some more.  

A new start

....because I can't finish a Mirabilia without starting one of the many others I have lined up.   But you knew that.

I started Queen Mermaid last weekend.   The fabric is Sterling Silver from Silkweaver, which is a very muted pattern hand dyed in a lovely silvery-blue-grey color.  I really love it for this project, which is a good thing because I'll also be doing Deepest Love on the same fabric at some point.

There's quite a bit of metallics on her (as with most of the mermaids) so I went ahead and ordered those because there's only so much I can stitch "around" where they need to go.   Should be here shortly.
