Its a......Mermaid!

Well I finally finished off the Mediterranean Mermaid - or Cleo as I call her.  Is it just me or is Mediterranean one of the hardest words to spell? (I am a bad speller).  The good news is that Miss. Cleo (the Mermaid - not the psycic) is for my unborn neice - yep its a girl! I'm very excited to have my first ever neice. 

So without further waiting - here is miss Cleo - aka Mediterranean Mermaid by Mirabilia stitched on Crafty Kitten 32 ct jazlyn on Daybreak.



I made some changes here: her eye for one is opened - I mistakenly took ./. for .\. and she ended up with beads in her hair. I skipped the tear drops on her necklace because they were $2 each x 3 - and I had enough invested in her.




She really is blingy.




Beautiful tail!  I also changed the clear bicones to blue ones - the blue ones were cheaper and I liked the colour of them.



The colour differences in the photos are simply outdoor light to indoor light. 

Honestly, I am glad to be putting this little girl to bed.  I am going to frame it for my sister. The baby is due late August, but my sister's birthday is May 21st. So I'm aiming for then. I am still working on Bliss. I don't have her with me or I would do an updated photo - coming soon.  I also just got the 3rd RR.  It has an open theme with a wish for fairies and mermaids - I chose Woodland Fairy and I have her all kitted up so she should be making an appearance soon too.
