The mermaid is done!

Well, she's done! Now I have to figure out what to do with her. This was the mermaid that I talked about earlier. The project from Margaret Ball's Embeadery book. Glad she's done so I can take her to doll club for show and tell tomorrow night.

Four of us made these mermaids. We're not sure what to do with them now. None of us wanted to make a necklace to hang her on as is shown in Margaret's book. Susan thought she'd make a great fridge magnet but I think not. I'll probably see about putting a pin back on her. I'm not big on wearing pins though - so she will probably be pinned to my design wall. My design wall doesn't have room for any designing anymore - it's covered with pin dolls, practice faces, and random other pieces of fabric art. I do have 4 quilt blocks that have been up there for a year. They were part of a mystery quilt by elinor peace bailey. Full of fairies and other fun things. One day I might finish it - but if not I might just finish the quilt blocks separately and give them to my nieces as gifts. It's a thought. What this has to do with the mermaid I have no idea.
