Emerald Mermaid

hi, this is so far what I have stitched. I'm only doing the cross stitch part right now, then I will do the backstitch and beads. I also only used one strand on the kreinik thread as I hate working with two strands of it. It's the dark green bit, photo does not show it that well. I think it still works out. 

I'm getting there as you can see.

I've been reading or playing a few new games on my iPad and not stitching much.

Just a note with the lovebirds cross stitch I did, when it's framed it will be without the photo of my bird, after a few days of thinking about it I thought it was a bit too much. I still miss him but ya. So it will be in the finished page soon.

Happy stitching!
