Celeste Update!

I finished the dragon!  Well almost, I still have to stitch the scales but the rest of the backstitching is done.  Next I'll start on the border pattern.  I tried doing some of the scales but apparently back when I bought the materials I grabbed the wrong gold blending filament and I don't like the one I have so I need to frog that and try it with the right color.  But still I can't be happier with the progress I've made.  Happy New Year!

Fantastic. It looks absolutely great. I'm shortly going to get around to looking out another UFO. Have you got anymore?

Aren't there always more UFO's? I would love to finish Celeste this year and if I do I am considering finishing a project my mother passed off on me a number of years ago. It would be fun to return it to her completed.
