I finally got back to this piece after being side-tracked by my SB phase. I got quite a bit done over the Easter break so here are the latest pics.
(I'm not sure what that shadow is down the left side).
Here's a close-up of the horse and sleigh which is what I worked on over Easter. The horse is done using RG Alpaca thread with a half cross stitch. There will be magnifica beads in the patterned area on the sleigh....I haven't put them in yet as it will probably hinder the use of my Qsnaps. The tree next to the house will be decorated. It's going to have wonderful tinsel using RG Precious Metals in gold and the baubles are Swarovski crystals. This, of course, will all happen at the end. Personally, I can't wait to see it sparkle! I'm now about two thirds through the first part of the whole thing.
Finally, a parting shot. On Thursday, DD had a hair cut & got her first ever foils. So here she is...cut, coloured and without braces on her teeth!
