Happy Dance!

First of all, thanks to those of you who gave me ideas on how to embellish
this piece. It is truly a piece I will always be proud of and I hope that
its recipients will think so too.

I just finished this morning this x-stitch. Here is a link to the photo:
http://community.webshots.com/photo/460178841fBXwnV. If you choose to look
further into this album, you will find a photo of the original work. The
changes I made a added blending filament to the window to give it a
warm, but frosty look (if that makes any sense...); changed the colour of
the dress to match the bride's gown; changed the bride and groom to silks;
used wisper blended with DMC for the fur on the cape. In a previous
discussion, I had looked for opinions on how to use the wisper and I decided
that a fully fur-lined cape would be most appropriate give a New Years Eve
wedding in Alberta!

Now I just have to save up some pennies to frame it. Good thing I still
have lots of time.
