Here's week 2 of Queen Mermaid ...
She's coming along nicely and I'm really enjoying stitching her. I had a problem with the qsnaps though, I put some tissue paper between the beads and the qsnaps but when I took them off, it had pulled the fabric so taut that the beads were loose and out of shape on the fabric. I've pulled the fabric back into shape as best I can and it looks okay, if I'm still not happy I'll restitch the beads again. No biggie.
Yesterday I picked up Middy from the framers. She knows I always call early for them, but she was late opening up yesterday (for a purpose) so after waiting nearly three quarters of an hour in the pouring rain, I gave up and drove home. She phoned later on that morning to say that she was open and to call down, she gave me a great discount for messing me around and I'm thrilled with the results!
She's framed the same way as Titania as eventually they'll hang together.
Once again, thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, I really loved reading your comments!

Mmmm...sounds like a perfect birthday to me! The framing is just perfect for Middy and your new mermaid is swimming along nicely ;)
They are both so lovely! Your framer did an excellent job with Middy. Please post a photo when you hang her with Titania.
Boht Queen Mermaid and Middy are lovely. Your framer did a fantastic job.
Queen Mermaid is beautiful! And didn't your framer do a great job? Middy is really pretty.
Oh Nicola I love your framed Middy, I still haven't got mine framed but should be giving it to the chap I work with on Monday or Tuesday, he gets his friend to do my frmaing.
