The Sea is Still Calling

After finishing Clara's Mermaid Sampler last month, and then putting the mermaid lantern together, I could still hear the call of the waves...so over the weekend I pulled out Ship's Manor's "Beautiful Sea Quaker."

I'm stitching this on a piece of 32-ct. Silkweaver "Celestial Blue," using (mostly) the custom colors from Ship's Manor.  I did, however, swap out the blue used for the seahorse - it was the same as the waves in the border, and I had heard there was a possibility that the one skein of it I'd purchased with the pattern wouldn't be enough - and the red bands in the lighthouse (the color called for had - IMO - too much orange in it).  I think I'm going to use beads for all the various "eyes," but I'll add those last!
