What can I say? I'm a dog person (but I like cats too but just do not own any right now). So, anyway I definitely have to have a completed work of a cute, wee, little dog. I love mushrooms and especially the red and white I think is very cute. I hand-dyed this small piece of Aida cloth too. I had already dyed it long before I had the pattern and they seemed to match up perfectly with each other. I had a lot of fun dying this piece because I was trying to create a "ground/grass and sky look".
This pattern was taken from the book: A Cross Stitcher's Oriental Odyssey by Joan Elliott for Design Works Crafts. The original design has a Chinese symbol but I replaced it with this casted dragon charm instead.
