Some notes:
S is Rainbow Gallery Slendor
W is Rainbow Gallery Wisper
PSL is Rainbow Gallery Petite Silk Lame
PB is Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid
GLO is Gloriana
CWL is Caron Waterlilies
CSC is Caron Soie Crystale
NPI is Needlepoint Inc Silks
SW is Swarovski Crystals
DB is Delicas seed beads

* I used both DB158 and DBS158 so the beading in her tail would not be crowded
* While I gave specific conversions for the treasures and crystals, I ended up putting whichever crystal I liked where I wanted it, with the exception of the tear drops.

    My grand daughter just saw your photo of this, which brought me to your blog site. This is a great post for the conversion. She wants a pink/purple one. Now just to find the time to stitch it and find the perfect material and all the threads!

    Wow I love this - I have the pattern and was about to sell it when I saw this - I am currently looking at your conversation and trying to work out the process - if you don’t mind me asking could you please explain how do I know where to put the threads you used against the current ones in the pattern? It is soooo beautiful
