FINALLY!
And thanks to everyone who has waited so patiently and encouraged me so much! Who knows how long it wouldn't have taken me if you guys hadn't prodded me on so much! ;)

Okay here's the approximate stats:
5 foot long x 2 foot tall
Size 14 aida (cornflower blue)
Approximately 200 hours
397 yards of 3-strand thread
About 23 skeins
Just under 50,000 stitches
15 colors and some metallic gold accents


Pictures not the highest quality in the world but I can upload some detail shots if anyone actually wants to see each individual stitch! lol Here's one: [link]

Yes I took some artistic liberty on some things. I admit it. :P
Heck, I even changed my pattern a couple of times after I started. Even after I had stitched some in a couple of places *wince* I hate taking out stitches! *shudder*

Design is mine but of course the characters are all Nintendo's.

My best friend is having a baby and her nursery theme is Mario Bros. I would absolutely LOVE to make this for the little ones nursery. Would you be willing to share your pattern??

Taking out stitches is the worse. Amazing work though. What are your plans for it besides making it into a cape and showing how awesome you are?

That one is awesome too! Did you do the background or did you use black cloth and I'm just seeing things?

Errr, I kind of drew the pattern on graph paper, lol, Might be fun to color in little bitty squares on the computer though. I'll put it on my list of stuff that's taking me forever to get done! ;)
