The Phoenix Takes Form

So its three months tomorrow since I took that other photo of my cross-stitch. I haven't worked on it as much as I'd like because working full-time as a teacher is damn exhausting. But, here it is in all its glory - its really starting to take shape, which means, unfortunately, that I have done most of the major colours and now have to start filling in the colours where there are only like 10 stitches per colour or something...
