HAPPINESS by Kathy Barrick

This design is called “Happiness” and it weirdly/oddly/strangely/a little bit is a self portrait.  Feeding all the wild animals in my back yard brings me such joy.  And while I don't have squirrels climbing up my skirts, they are starting to recognize me when I'm outside feeding them!
My model is stitched on 40-Count Sand linen from Fiber on a Whim using Needlepoint Silks.  The stitch count is 125 Wide by 177 High.  Needlepoint Silks used are:  186, 223, 226, 244, 321, 513, 692, 693, 704, 772, 854, 863, 902, 952, 964, 965, 973, 982, 991BB, 993.
Of course a conversion to DMC is provided.
