Drum roll please....

YES!! The time has come :D

I have finished the Geisha :)

I cant believe it, I started it so long ago (as in about 8 years) and it has been a WIP that I occasionally pick up and add a few stitches to. But with a deadline I have managed to get my mojo back and get on and finish it.

So without further ado...again here is the before...



...and here is the after! The finished article, measuring about 12"x18"....


I would just like to thank everyone for all their lovely comments and support, it was especially appreciated when I lost my mojo for a whole month and kept whinging about it! :D

Now what to stitch next...

    It really does -I'm not sure what took longer, the stitching or the back stitch. Time for a rest until something else catches my eye ;)
