Autumn in My Garden and Night

After a few weeks of searching, I finally found a frame for the last cross stitch project I finished.
This is the second Mirabilia Garden picture I've done for my sister.  Mirabilia patterns are prone to typos, but this one had more than most.  I recommend keeping the picture handy and checking anything that seems weird if you stitch this. 

My sister gave me this Teresa Wentzler kit called Night for Christmas a few years back.  Wentzler's patterns are always a challenge to stitch since she is found of blended threads (one strand each of two different colors) and confetti (scattered single x's of color).  There's probably 15 shades of green in that patch of greenery. All the blended threads tend to make Wentzler's designs more muted than if they were straight colors.  This one is getting donated to the Myerstown Library Spring Auction.
