Since I did not have to work today, I sat myself down, watched some syndicated sitcoms like What I Like About You, Reba, According to Jim, My Wife And Kids, and such... and got all the rest of that beading done. They are done!!!!! This was a fun stitch! Mike took this photo with his digital camera and he captured the color of the linen much better than mine ever has.
So... then I really didn't have a whole lot of time left over to work on An Emblem of Love, so the swan is not stitched yet. Everything in the medallion around the swan is finished, plus another little pinkish heart to the right of the medallion - next week, I really hope to stitch the swan :-) I still adore this project!
I finally took a photo of this incredibly adorable scissor fob that Su made for me. Isn't it cute? My photo is blurry! And, I thought I had done a good job! This fob got some nice compliments at CATS :-) Su also sent me the chart from Shepherd's Bush's St. Peter's Fair, which she must have seen on my Wish List - thanks again Su! (The fob says, "roses grow in a sweet little row" - Su knows me so well!
And, another giftie - Becky must have seen a comment I left somewhere saying that I feel like Charlie Brown since I owned zero needlerolls - she took care of that and sent me this sweet little Halloween one! Now, at last, I do own a needleroll! I need to go and buy a basket for it - it will look a bit lonely in there, but I do believe these are to be displayed in baskets - LOL! Thank you Becky and Su - you are both sooo sweet!Now, I don't want to panic anyone about yesterday's comment about my concerns over two friends suffering losses. I got some very concerned emails - nobody has passed away, nobody is ill, everyone's children are safe... I am just feeling sad over other losses my friends are experiencing. I did not mean to alarm anyone. Sorry about that!!
Stitched on today: Mermaids of the Deep Blue and An Emblem of Love

You got an excellent picture of your mermaids, Carol! I'm sure it's spectacular in person. :D
Wow, the mermaids are so pretty! That fabric really works for them, it's almost as if it's a photo rather than a stitched piece! Great job! :-)
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Mermaids of the Deep Blue are absolutely stunning. My, those colours!!
What sweet gifties you got from Su and Becky!! You left that comment regarding needlerolls on my blog and apparently I'm not the only one to have stored the info carefully... Only Becky is months quicker than me!! How sweet of her and Su :) :)

Great work.. Congrats on the finish. Hope things work out for your freinds.
Stunning, stunning, stunning. Did I say they were stunning? Well, they are. I can't believe how much the beads added to their beauty (which was enough without the beads :)). Congrats you must just be adoring them.
Gasp! The Mermaids look amazing! I know I'm in danger of repeating myself, but I'm always amazed when you finish such a large project. Gorgeous!
Your mermaids look electric on that fabric and all that beading... They look fabulous!

Hey, Carol, those are some lovely gifties (for a lovely woman) - enjoy!
Your Mermaids are stunning. You must be so happy to have completed such a gorgeous project!!!
Congrats Carol! I love how the fabric gets lighter the higher up you go...kind of like they are rising up in the water. Your FOB from Sue is so cute so is the needele roll from Becky. I always think they look so nice in a basket. I don't think it will be lonely in there for long *grin*
