Art nouveau lady #4. Butterflies, beads and backstitch

Here's my progress so far.  Worked on her over the weekend. I added a beads under the butterflies just for an added bit of bling.  I hope it looks ok. I also changed the color of one of the leaves to a more softer green. I wasn't too fussy about the pattern color, I thought it looked too bright to go with the rest. 

Here are the swirls done in beads under the butterfly 

I hope to get her finished this weekend!

Fingers crossed!

Happy Stitching!

Art Nouveau Lady

I've given up on butterfly girl.  I stitched with a different color, frogged it and started again.  Two hours later I realized I did it again. *sigh*

So now I have started Art Nouveau Lady. I think she's so pretty.   She can be found in The World of Cross Stitch magazine issue 217. 

I started her on Saturday:

and this is my progress on her so far:

I'm missing a few of the main colors but my son is taking me to Michaels on Saturday for my birthday on the 15th, so I'll get them then.  He likes to call it "Mikes." I guess it allows him to feel manly when talking about a craft shop!

Happy stitching!
