It took me all week to get this far, but here is my first CItA update. I am using the jewel-tone version of it. I think it's gorgeous.
I sat back this morning and thought, "Now that, Rachel, is a gorgeous piece of cross stitch." It's very different from my usual subject choices, but I'm always up for a challenge. And this is a challenge.
I am leaving the beading til the end. I am stitching this on a hoop and I don't want to crush the beads. Hopefully I can see straight.
We had a bit of a tease this morning. I woke up around 7, and there was the distinctive rumble of thunder going over the house. Our yard is so dry, and my flowers look so pitiful--the poor petunia has nearly given up the ghost--that any rain would be welcome. It was so loud that I brought the dog in, I thought we would get dumped on. No go with the rain. Acckkkk.
Oh, well . . .

That looks so lovely. I have that design somewhere - hmmm - now where is it LOL
Your stitching is beautiful! Sorry you did not get the rain...we just had a good thunderstorm that dropped lots of needed rain on us and cooled us down a bit...it was 105 today...this is the first rain in two weeks. I can almost hear the plants sighing in relief! ;^)
This is a beautiful piece!
We had thunder, lightening, and wind. Little rain. Although the temps fell! Woohoo!
It is very pretty and different...love the colors.
Oh, it is so pretty! I may have to get this one as well. Did you get the cross stitch only version, or did you get the specialty stitch version?
It's gorgeous either way! :)
That is beautiful! I love the jewel tones :o)
That is so pretty!! Gorgeous colors.
Nice progress - very pretty!
Rumbles of thunder? LOL, I could send some of this rain your way. Or, rather water now... it's done raining for now.
