A finish:

Can't believe it is finally done! What am I even going to do with myself now? Lol right... I have lots of other ideas :)

I don't want to make this post have too many pictures, but I got some good close-ups that you can see on my blog. I also did something super special with the rose, so here is a quick peek at that:

I made it a bullion rose bud like Mary Corbet shows on her blog needlenthread.com and I am really happy with how it turned out. Thanks for looking and all of the support!

WOW!!!! It looks amazing and I loved watching it grow!The rose is absolutely beautiful!!!!

I am editing this because I just went to your blog and saw all the pictures. You should have put them all, I know you didn't want to make it picture heavy, but you did an AMAZING job!!!! I can not believe all the french knots. The job you did was amazing. I don't even like Disney stuff, but this is STUNNING and I am in awe!!!

I don't know who will get this piece, but it will be stunning hanging in someones home. Congratulations!!!

I hesitate when it comes to the Kinkade Disney kits because they're soooo busy, but this is just lovely and I -adore- that rose!! It makes such a great focus!

Beautiful piece of work. Great back stitching, 1,200 French knots on the flowers, a bullion rose bud, 62,208 cross stitches. You've added a superb flare of your talent into this work. Another inspiring stitch art that you deserve to take pride in. Please update us when it's framed. We're sure your choice of frame will compliment this Beauty and her Beast.

woohoo congratulations on a finish! I'm hoping I wont be too far behind you - I've just got Mrs Potts and Chip, Belle and Beast to do alone with a tiny bit of outlining

I love what you have done with the rose - it really stands out and looks lovely

I'm wondering about changing the stem of my rose to green - as on my chart it is pink. I don't think I could do a bullion knot though - they look so complicated!

A beautiful finish - whats next? :p
