Last HD Before Baby!

Finally! I made myself get that spool of #4 braid to finish up my Emerald Mermaid, and spent about a week beading. But she's done! And three days before Alex gets here. I don't know how much time I'm gonna have for stitching after he's born, but I'm guessing not much. So I'm glad I was able to squeeze in one more finish.

Here she is! She is stitched on 32 ct Aphrodite linen from Sugar Maple. I substituted 015 #4 braid for the second lightest color in the seaweed, to give it that mossy sparkle. I also had to cut a little off the sides, because it was getting really close to the edge of my fabric (I was cheap and went with a small cut). See a close-up of her here.
