Heres my newest pics, I think this is about another 8 hours of work. I'm using this WIP partially to keep track of how much time I spend on projects since I always end up forgetting. I would also like to thank everyone for their support, this is my first WIP post and it really helps to have all this postive encouragement from everyone.

Heres the new pics!

I am having difficulty figuring out how to embroider the face and not have it look bad, does anyone have suggestions on a good stitch for the eyes, eyebrows, and lips. I've tried backstitch and stem stitch and wasn't very impressed with the results.
