In re-reading my December goals, I realized that I hadn't touched the Celtic wedding piece this month. Ack! It is a LOT more complex than I'd originally thought, and I have to keep up on it or it will never be done by the wedding (in September). So I worked steadily on it yesterday and today....here is an updated picture. It may not look like I've done much, but there is SO much backstitching. Ugh. If you click to see the bigger pic, you'll get an idea. Basically, all of the gold lines need to be backstitched in black. I figure right now it is about 1/4 done, and I have to buckle down on it. *sigh* I haven't decided yet if this is how I'll "stitch in the New Year" tomorrow, or if I'll pick something different for a bit of a break.

Gosh, Erin, that's really beautiful.
It's a real beauty though! Happy New Year Erin!
That's very impressive! It looks like a fun but complicated stitch.
This is going to be so pretty when you get this one completely finished. Whatever you do don't give up on this one...keep stitching on this okay.
Take care & Happy Stitching
That border looks so pretty!
