I've stitched over 8 hours during Saturday and Sunday and here's the result (and yes, my husband and children felt like I abandoned them ;) :
Before:
Pistelin vasemman siiven valmiiksi ja rajasin sen. Jatkoin myös kolttua toiselta sivulta, aloitin vasemmalta puvusta lähtevän nauhan sekä lehdet jälkipistoineen sivulla ovat uusia. Päädyin lopulta yrityksen ja erehdyksen kautta suositeltuun väriin (siiven jälkipistoissa siis), eikä tuo enää näytä niin pahalta. Ensimmäistä pätkää tehdessä näytti liian rajulta muuhun tunnelmaan verrattuna.
I finished her left wing and made the backstitches to it. I also started her dress from the second page and the ribbon (which starts from her dress). The leaves with backstitches are also new. After trying several different shades of brown I sticked with the one chart recommended. It seemed too dark at first, but now I'm pretty pleased with it.
she looks beautiful, and the backstitching makes here wings stand out.

Wow, Nina. You've gotten so much done. She's one of my favorite Miras, and every time I see a WIP from you, it makes me smile. :D
VastaaPoistaAbsolutely beautiful!
VastaaPoistaBackstitching is such a pain for me but the results are well worth it as shown in your work. It's so beautiful. I'm sure hubby and kids got along fine, it's better to have a happy mummy anyway. LOL!!
VastaaPoistaThank you for your compliments! :)
VastaaPoistaAnd Alicia, that's true, when mom's happy, everyone's happy! ;D
