My Earth Finished!!

It's 12:19 am and I've finally finished "My Earth." I never thought I would see this day! I sound like a broken record, but I am so glad to have this done! I only have one regret. I ran out of the Maidenhair Fern. Mainly because I was using it for vines when I should've been using the dark green. So I had to stitch the words "green grass" in dark green and I don't like it. I may check out a needlepoint shop near me that carries Thread Gatherer to see if they have the color. I know, silly to spend $5 for a couple of words, but it would make me happy. Anyway here's a pic...

Shepherd's Bush "My Earth" kit
Fabric: 32 ct. Light Sand Belfast
Threads: Thread Gatherer and Soie D Alger silk
Started: Sometime in 2005
Finished: 10/3/07

Well, I'm going to bed now - I should set the coffee pot to be ready when I wake up because I'm going to need it!!

P.S. The alternative lettering was charted by CynthiaC. I don't know what I would do without her! :) I'm sure I would've stitched a lot less Shepherd's Bush designs without her lettering!

P.P.S. I fixed the lettering this morning. I went out and got a skien - I figured I may need it in the future anyway. Thank you to Alison and Rani for offering to send out some!

Edited to add better pic!

    It looks beautiful. I'm sure I have maidenhair fern green, if you need a length. I'm going out of town until next week, but send me an email if you want me to send it next week.

    Congratulations - this is beautiful! From the photo "green grass" looks fine, but I'm the same way. If something doesn't look just right I have to change it. You have quite an accomplishment in this sampler!

    Nicole, it's beautiful! I love SB but for whatever reason, I don't ever seem to stitch any. I need to fix that after watching yours grow.
