Finished! I'm very pleased with how she's turned out. I put the final stitch in on 30th September. My only finish so far this year! She was stitched on SMF's Winter Meadow Belfast linen, skin stitched over 1. I also used metallic pink and silver beads to go with the wing conversion. Somehow I have another 8 WIPs on the go and all of them are BAPs, so not sure that I'll be able to finish anything else this year.
Dad is now quite settled in the nursing home. We had a review last week & it looks as if he will be staying on a permanent basis. The next step is to continue clearing and then sell the house which will be very hard. I'm going through a tough time emotionally at the moment, which is why I'm not blogging much right now - haven't got the heart to really. But I'm getting a bit of stitching in each day now though - little and often and I WILL see off those other WIPs eventually! Happy stitches everyone xx

She is gorgeous and also on my sometime in the future stitch list. lol
What a stunning finish. You can do one for me now!!!!!
Hi Sam, I can see you haven't updated your blog in quite some time - I can't find any other way of contacting you, so I hope you get this.
I'd love to do your conversion of Titania's wings on my Titania. Your Silver conversion is exactly what I've been looking for... do you have them charted or at least a list of what you ended up using?
You can contact me through my blogger profile.
TIA
Kirstin.
