Celestial Dragon Update

Here is my update as promised.  I thought I might get a few more stitches in today but no such luck.  It did go smoother than I had feared but of course this is only layer one of the backstitching, who knows how I will feel after layer two!  And there is couching in another part of it!  Oh the horrors!  No wonder this became a UFO, must persevere!  Backstitching does bring characters to life though I must admit.  Here is a before and an after. (Sort of, I missed taking a full picture apparently before starting the dreaded backstiching. ;-) )
