Happy Dance Finish! (and more beer)

Hurray!  I finished the Day of the Dead sugar skull.  My son bought me the book, Twisted Stitches, and my daughter asked me to stitch this one for her.  I used the DMC floss listed in the chart and stitched on 18 ct white Aida.  The finished size is about 5" x 7".  There is another sugar skull in the book, too!

Started 8/21/2012, Finished 8/31/2013

I stitched more water, fish, and bubbles on Cut Thru' Igloo.  This will only have one or two more updates and then it will be time for another happy dance!  Check out everyone's progress on the Bothy Threads Cut Thru' SAL page!

I stitched two more bottles of beer on the wall on "99" by Ink Circles.

Bottle #8 is Neustadt 10w30, Neustadt Springs Brewery, Neustadt, Ontario, Canada.

    Wow, that is great - so colorful and beautifully done. You are also making quite a bit of progress on your other projects - I'm amazed at how well the beer bottles look, they really do look like their real counterparts. Go, go, go.
