Patient Pretty

My HAEDs have sat neglected as I desperately try to whittle down my WIPs. Pretty from Nene Thomas has seen a little progress...

You can see the start of skin! This page is confetti city, I may need to jump to another just to get back into it! The Maiden.

Progress on Pretty

Stitched on 25ct antique white Lugana one strand DMC over one. I have completed 12,000 stitches of 264,375.  A drop in the bucket, but I just keep telling myself stitch by stitch.

The Heaven and Earth Design that started it all. 

I am always startled by how much of this piece translates to my own story.  After 2 years of cross stitching, I ran across a HAED on google images and have been hooked ever since! Initially I was intimidated by the 46 page pattern, but as the picture begins to emerge I have no doubt I will finish this long before my 15 year deadline!
