Nantucket Rose by Lavender & Lace

Nantucket Rose by Lavender & Lace has always given me the feeling of Anne of Avonlea, where she's sitting on the shore at the beginning of the second movie writing her novel.  Therefore, when I started to stitch the blond hair that is charted for this piece, it just didn't feel right to me.  I went about converting her hair to be a "very handsome auburn", and now it looks perfect!  Here is the original design, which can be found here: https://www.123stitch.com/item/Lavender-and-Lace-Nantucket-Rose-Cross-Stitch-Pattern/5004.
