I have managed to stitch the three seaweed leaves on the left side of Gracie. It took me quite a bit of time just to do those three leaves. First, I needed to stitch the leaves outlines, then I filled the inside with some chain stitches and finally covered them with satin stitches. There will be a fourth leave that will be stitched later and added at the very end as that one will be stumpwork. I will now be working on the seaweed leaves that are on the right of Gracie.
-I have looked around to find a photo of Gracie and found these on Rissa's web site and you have to see how she did the finishing . Isn't it just beautiful? What a wonderful idea!

I have also found this other photo of Gracie

Well, better go back to my stitching as there are still plenty of work to do before Gracie finds her way to the framer.
