Happy Dance!!!!!

I just had to post this!!!!  The picture is light since my sewing room has high intensity lights that wash out, but I think you get the idea.  The thread is a really good match (as it should be) so you see the texture.  It isn't perfect, but more "organic"---my word for 'some of the swirls are sorta messed up" :c)!  ---but you gotta start somewhere right!   It is just a little corner, and I have a LOT more to go, but I feel so good!  I just wanted to share!

Thanks for your patience!!
