Rose Garden Mandala

Another picture of the Rose Garden mandala. This really is a lovely piece to stitch, so I was glad I had to wait a long time on Saturday evening till my daughter came home from a party. As mothers use to do I can't sleep untill she is safely at home again. So I spent my evening stitching and stitching and stitching......

Lately I read another way of stitching the Jessica's on the Yahoo Chatelaine design support group. I used to put the last stitches on top of the others, but sliding the last threads under the previous ones makes them look much better and gives uninterrupted circles.

With some luck the Fairy Flower Garden kit will arrive this week. This package includes the beads, crystals and one skein of thread for the Rose Garden. I try to imagine how this will look after I added all the sparkles...

It is very, very pretty. It can only be better once the sparkles are on!
