Today's pic is something very special to me.  This is QS Pale Rose - another design from Jasmine Becket-Griffith.  Pale Rose is, to this very day, my very favourite piece of HAED stitching.  For a start, it was the first 'round' piece of HAED that I ever stitched - and that in itself was exciting.  But the design itself was just such a beautiful work of art to see emerge in cross stitch.  There is something particularly powerful in the way that Jasmine designs her characters' eyes - but to then stitch them and watch them come to life is amazing!!!  And this probably does explain why most of my HAED stash consists of Jasmine Becket-Griffith charts!! :)
