Week 14 Beauty and the Beast

I have been working on this pattern for 14 weeks now - I suppose that's not too crazy long, but I know I am still a long ways away from finishing. Mark my words though, I WILL finish this. :) I am still super motivated and having so much fun. It's bad when the weather is as nice as it has been and I would still rather be inside stitching! Don't get me wrong, I have spent lots of time outside, and I have the sunburn to prove it.
Anywho, I have reached the bottom! I am so excited about that. I was hoping to complete the whole bottom corner but what is left has lots of thread changes, so that will have to wait for next week's update. I also hope to have the town base-stitched. We shall see :)

Also, here is a close-up picture of the left side that I have been working on for the last few weeks. I need to figure out a better way to take these pictures - my camera just isn't doing what I want it to.
