And here I am, beading! I hit my goal to finish the stitching on Mermaids of the Deep Blue and pulled out the beads.
Loving it! I wish you could see the gleam and glitter. And in true stitch from stash fashion, I’m subbing in the gold that I already have, and the big pony beads are also from my stash.

very pretty 🙂
They are blinging up quite quickly! I’m doing it in hand now because I was too lazy to take Persephone off the big stand and it’s getting heavy.
gasp! So, sew beautiful. Stunning work.
Thanks oodles for sharing your masterpiece.
I stopped by for a look and somehow I am leaving covered in grace and inspiration.
Me? Full of grace?
Beautiful! I am just now starting to work with beads, *nervous* I have a Mill Hill kit that I am starting with, then I have a Mirabilia pattern in my stash that I want to start soon.
Those kits are perfect. I bead with the clear Nymo rather than a strand of DMC but it happens fast. All you really need to do is make sure you go thru the big beads twice, in the full cross. That will fix them securely.
Thanks for the tip!
