I finished sections 9 and 10 of the Passione Ricamo SAL#4.  I am patiently waiting for step 11 to be released on March 9. Here is how I left my piece:

On the right is the purple mermaid tail!  So excited for this one!  I love the sparkly waves, too.

I have also put a few stitches into Fairy Dust.        WIN_20150224_132337 (2)

And now I am working on Siren and the Shipwreck.  She is really moving along.

She is looking a little ghostly without all of the details. I think once I finish her hair, I will be able to start the back stitching and beading.  She has a lot of bling in her.  Especially the chandelier.  Can’t wait!!  She has really been a fun, easy, relaxing stitch and I am loving stitching on her again.  Which one of your stitch projects was or is a fun stitch for you?
