This one I'm particularly pleased with - I've finished part 3 of Chatelaine's Medieval Town Mandala!
Isn't it gorgeous? I love all the beads and sparkle, and the turquoise colours are just beautiful. I'm looking forward to more turquoise in part 5! The over 1 butterflies were a nuisance to stitch, but well worth it. Did you know that it takes longer to frog one of them than it does to stitch it in the first place? LOL I managed to get one of them a stitch too close to the grasses so didn't have space for the bead flower underneath. That was one mistake I couldn't ignore.
I'd love to keep going with MTM for now but have switched to Paradigm Lost this week as I'd like to keep adding to it fairly regularly. I'll also be getting Lizzy's RR to stitch on before too long.
But MTM is still calling to me - can't be a bad thing!

Stunning colours in this one, no wonder you want to continue with it
Oh, Oh, Oh.... how pretty!!! I love the colors, such nice stitching too ;)
Gorgeous stitching. I know what you mean about frogging time vs stitching time. And was I always scared I woul dsnip the linen or aida underneath!
I don't cross stitch too much anymore. It was far too stressful!
Oh wow, this is stunning! I love your blog - I have spent some time looking around here after you left a kinf comment on my blog. I shall be back!

Yes, it IS gorgeous!
I hate frogging over-one, it really is hard and time consuming.
This is a beautiful piece. Nice job!
Wow this is so pretty!! Love the colours :)
To answer your swap question... Surprise me :) I love surprises (nice ones lol). And the only chocolate I don't like is dark chocolate... easy to please lol.

Wow ~ awesome! I love all the close-ups of all the details. The whole picture is amazing but seeing everything in such detail makes you appreciate it that much more.
What a gorgeous piece this is!!!! Can't wait to see more :)
Lesley,
Mom and I are looking at your MTM, it is really awesome. I love all of those colors too. Especially the turquoise. Anything with turquoise in it is great with me. You are really talented.
I can't believe that you are not going to find out what your baby is! I am dying, dying, dying!
