Desert Landscapes Mandala, part 1

I've been working quite a bit on my Desert Landscapes Mandala recently, and finally finished part one last night! Even though I've stitched other Chatelaine designs, I am just so amazed at the intricacies of them.  Now I need to get to work on Autumn Fairy - I have the feeling I'm going to fall behind (with so many things going on), as much as I wanted to keep up... I'm sure no one else has had that problem, right? :)
