Models released

A couple of Nora Corbett models that I finished back in January were released over the weekend; NC350 North Pacific Mermaid:

And NC351 South Pacific Mermaid:

I did ask if the names should be switched, as the red and yellow one says "South Pacific" to me and the cool colors look like "North Pacific", but I guess they were correct as is.

South Pacific originally only had one seahorse, but when I sent in a question right as I started her the amended chart came back with two! She also had some work done on her hands before they were accepted by Nora:



Here are some more photos of the finished pieces:





I took the weekend off from the model and worked on Nora Corbett's Arezzo; she now has a face and all of the skin is done so I'm happy with the progress I made:

This coming Saturday is the online Friendstitch Gratitude Gathering, and the goodie box arrived a few days ago:


It's always fun to open the box during the gathering, and this one is even a little better because it is part of my payment for stitching models for the retreat. I definitely need something to look forward to these days!

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!

  2. Your cross stitching is so amazing. I do agree the changing out of the hands on South Pacific was just what was needed. It's perfect now.

    1. Agreed, they look more like hands and less like flippers... :D

    1. Thanks Marilyn! I'm very excited to open that box (though I know what three of the designs look like!).

  4. I'm with you; it seems like the names should be swapped. Beautiful work!

    1. I know, right? I'm not sure I've ever watched South Pacific, but I definitely think it's full of tropical colors.

  5. Oh, these Mermaids are stunning! I agree that the colours might be better switched around, but either way I love them both.
