Sabrina is getting the party itch ;o) She's starting to get more and more bling now -
With a dress like this, I know I'd want to show it off! LOL!
The front of her dress is officially completed so it's onto the middle section. I think I'm about 60% done. What do you think?
People have asked me why I'm beading as I go. To be honest, this is not my normal practice. I usually wait until I have my entire cross stitching done before I even think of beading. But I decided that since there were SO many beads on Sabrina, I would do them as I went along because I knew that if I waited until the end, she would never get finished.
I have a feeling that I will be changing to larger Q-Snaps in the near future ;o)

Good progress, Cathey! May be there is a chance to finish this beautiful girl before Christmas? ;)
Hugs,

Wow she should be partying with a dress like that. Beautiful job so far.
Wow, the beads are really pretty. Way cool close-up photo. She is looking gorgeous, Cathey!
She's looking more beautiful with each update. Your stitching is so perfect! I think it's a great idea to bead as you go. It might be too over-whelming to leave it to the end.
I think you are getting lots done, especially with the beading. Maybe Sabrina will be ready for a New Year's party :)
She's beautiful! Good idea with the beading - can't wait to see her finished!
Oh, my gosh, is she pretty!!
Oh wow she is beautiful..you should be so proud of her. Amazing your work is just so precise & perfect!

Look at those tiny, perfect stitches! She is a beauty!
Man oh man is she just breathtaking. Can't wait to see more.
She is beautiful and the dress is gorgeous!
Sabrina is really beautiful. I think beading her as you go along is a great idea.
Wow, great progress on Sabrina, her dress is gorgeous.
I like to bead large projects as I go for the same reason, couldn't cope with having to add them all at the end lol.
She just keeps getting prettier and prettier the older she gets--don't you wish real-life was like that?!
Amazing job on the beading, Cathey--I know I wouldn't have the patience for all those teeny black beads!
wow! she is absolutely gorgeous! Your work is so beautiful! I predict you have her finished by the year's end! :)
Wowza! She is looking amazing.
The beads are gorgeous
so many beads!!! @_@
She looks gorgeous =)
It seems like Sabrina wants to be ready for New Year's eve ;)
She is looking pretty amazing! Love the beads.
Those beads really make it pop! She is just gorgeous and you are making great progress. I finished Mermaid of the Pearls 3 years ago and still have beading left to do on it. I think beading as you go is a good idea with some of the Miras because at least you know it is going to get done.
She looks amazing!
Stunning!
I bead as i go, dont think i would have the patience to do it all at the end, it would end up an unbeaded UFO!
this is simply amaziiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!
she looks lovely, now come and get your snow I'm sure it's yours and not ours
Wow! That looks awesome!
Well, sheDONK!! Sabrina looks fantastic. I think it's a great idea to bead as you go--it's like getting a sneak peek at the finish, because Mirabilia packs so much bling into a piece. Great progress!
She didn't get that dressed up just to stay in a stitching bag, LOL! She looks gorgeous.
Wow! Sabrina is looking great! The bead work is just gorgeous & really makes the piece pop :)
Yes, I see your point. If beading is abundant and it is usually a chore, then best to bead as you go.
I like to back stitch as I go, for the same reasons.
She's looking so bead-azzling! (LOL... couldn't help the play on words) ;o)
so many beads... I can hardly imagine how long it takes to stitch all these beads!! :p
