You are an artist! Your conversion ideas are perfect and I love that she is now basking in the glow of the moon. Excellent stitching, too. Well done!!!
Beautiful stitching. I enjoyed seeing the completed project with all of your changes. I especially like the moon.
+Bead Stitches Thank you so much!! :)
She is just beautiful, you are an amazing stitcher Kelly and your videos rock!
She is beautiful, like an emerald in a turquoise sea 🎀🎀🎀
Drop dead gorgeous work, Kelly. Wow. I adore the moon you put in, and I think your under-the-shell pile of treasure looks great. Amazing! Thanks for doing a finishing video and sharing her with us. :)
+lindystitches Thank you Steph! That means a lot coming from a real life designer such as yourself!! By the by, you and Nell keep tempting me with those Brook's Books animals! I want to make them into ornaments for little kids!
The moon completely fits the mermaids expression. Well done looks great
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS....you are very talented and you have a GREAT sense of style! I am in AWE!!🌺🙏❤️
She's dooooooone!!! And she's totally gorge. Nice work, and I luuurve all your conversions. 😱😍💖
+Little Yellow House Crafts Thanks so much Nell! You and Stephanie (lindystitches) are tempting me with your Brooks Books xmas animals! They'd make such cute ornaments for nieces and nephews!
+the evergreen needle um, that's brilliant. You could pick their favorite animal and replace the numbers with each ones initial. 😱 and they stitch up pretty quickly!
I 100% agree with what Emily C said. Echo every word. Gorgeous work
+Latisha Beckett Thanks Latisha! You & Emily flatter me!
Beautiful Kelly. You have an eye for changes. Congratulations on another finish.
Oh my, she's gorgeous! I never liked her until I just watched this. Your version, with all the little changes puts a completely different look to her and she's stunning! The moon is amazing... I had to pause the video and google the pattern because I couldn't remember seeing one. You did an amazing job, Kelly! You should be super proud of yourself!!
+Tina Healey Thank you Tina!! It is amazing how just a couple changes really can alter a design so much and make it more appealing :)
Such a lovely conversion, the moon works really well and the column is much better in the white shades.
This is absolutely stunning. The moon looks like it was meant to be charted in the pattern. You did an amazing job!
+Karen Fox Thank you so much Karen!! You flatter me :)
Holy moley, Kelly! You did a fantastic job with her! The moon is such a beautiful addition! I can't believe for someone who is fairly new to stitching, can do such an outstanding job with making patterns your own. I'm proud of you! I just cannot put into the right words how beautiful Merlin is.
She's beautiful, lovely work!
That moon really does look fantastic! I had thought you had taken it from another pattern. You did amazing. And I think you're right, it does look like she should be basking in the moonlight. Fabulous job!
Absolutely stunning work, Kelly! I am madly in love with that moon! And that column. Just OMG! Flawless!!!!! ~Amy~
+RnRjunkie66 Thank you Amy!! That means a lot! :)
Stunningly beautiful work. You show such amazing creativity with your alterations, congratulations!

I love the moon, it adds a beautiful serene sentiment!
She is beautiful - the changes are lovely. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait for your next one !
+Mary B Aw thanks Mary!
Wonderful, wonderful video, Kelly! What a stunner she is. I love what you've done with the moon, gives it a totally different atmosphere. I think the treasure underneath the clam doesn't look 'funny' at all. It looks perfect! Matches it very well. :) xx
Love the moon change !
So beautiful, the moon worked so well. You are a true artist x

+Dee Stitcher Thank you Dee!
Beautiful picture! I would have thought it was charted the way you've done it if you hadn't said you changed things. Great changes by the way! Also, I love the music you had playing in the background. It went with your picture perfectly.
Amazing finish. Love the alterations you did, especially the moon.
+Pam Reid Thanks so much Pam!

+Jennifer Harvat Thanks Jennifer! Haha if only I could have also shown the mental turmoil I went through making my changes! Designing really does take some dedication and vision!
I didn't know you charted the moon yourself! It's absolutely gorgeous
So cool! I love the moon and treasure
Fantastic!
+RockinRaven Thanks Beth!
Sooo amazing! I love all the improvements and the way you changed the story. I also love the little identity crisis right at the end. :) What ARE you going to do with your life now? There should be a support group for people who finish big projects.
+Olivia B Thanks Olivia! Haha! I am struggling with life now ;)
Are you really a cross stitch designer? 💗 Fabulous work on her. Wonderful video
+Shana Coltion Thanks Shana! Haha definitely Not! Color changes are one thing, but changing the actual pattern....ah! Makes my brain hurt haha
She's beautiful, you have great vision to be able to make these changes. The moon is gorgeous
+Claire L Aw thanks Claire!
I love your changes--they really add to the design! Have you considered using silks for flesh tones? The Splendor silks have about 30 (probably more by now) suitable colors, and they give a subtle luminosity to the work. That moon was an inspiration!
+Jeri P Thanks Jeri! Oh I bet silks would add a really nice touch!! I've been really curious about trying some splendor silks, and getting flesh toned ones would be nice and get used often. You're going to make my stitchy wishlist grow!
I love your moon conversion! I would love to do mine the same way. Would you be willing to share the chart for the moon?
