SEMI SANE STITCHERS

Once Upon a Fairytale... - The goal is to try and finish a fairy tale piece by the end of June. I decided to start mini Faery Tales and my goal is 1000 stitches per week, which doesn't get me to a finish, but it gets over half done, so that might be possible. It's a good excuse to start this one. Here's where it is so far:
