Thanks for all the Cross stitch stuff. I will seed as long as I can. My husband like to turn my bandwidth back and not crank it back up so it will seed more.

Hi All,
Here is more info on this torrent.
This is a beautiful picture.
A peacock is sitting on a branch of a pear tree.
There is some sort of tall grass at the base of the pear tree.
There is a partridge on the ground among the grass and fallen pears.
There are several trees in the background.
The whole picture is surrounded by a medium size decorative border.
The peacock is in side view. Head, wing and tail are visible.
The tail is NOT fully spread but there are a huge number of eyes showing.
Only the front of the partridge is showing, peeking out of the grass.
The pear tree is in full fruit and some is on the ground.

All of my post didn't fit in the first post.
Here is the rest.


Here are some ALTERNATE GOLD BEADS:
** I WOULD CHOOSE THIS ONE - but it is expensive. **
The gold is in the center of the bead, NOT on the outside, so it will last a long time.
It is also the brightest in color.
