Parts one through seven, minus a bit of part six. I changed the holly berries to be Rhodes stitches, and added backstitched veins to the holly leaves, because the silk color used for the veins was nearly identical to that used for the leaves proper.

Parts one through six...almost. There is a bit below this that I'm not sure yet that I am going to do. It depends on what the top looks like. I guess I was wrong last time about having reached the bottom. :)

Parts one through five. We have reached the bottom! I can't believe we're there already!

Parts one through four. I have a sneaking suspicion there will be two more "crystals" on each side, because I have four more Swarovski crystals left. :)

Parts one through three. Part one took almost 50 hours, so the other two parts have been a little more reasonable! :) The amazing thing to me is that the two ornaments differ in only two colors!!

This is most of part two; there are some ornaments that go on the sides of this. It is insane how much the beads sparkle!!
