Even though I've been absent for those months, I have been stitching and scrapbooking still. My latest finish which I blogged about back in March is Halloween Fairy by Mirabilia. She is so lovely, and I really enjoyed stitching her. It took me 7 months to complete as I am busy with my 22 month old daughter of a day so she was mostly stitched on in the evenings.
She was stitched on 32 count natural linen and I used crescent colour threads which I thought were a joy to work with. It was my first time and I loved how smooth and vibrant they were and the colour changes were slight but still noticeable.
I loved doing the beading on her hair, dress,wings and wand. I thought it added such pretty character. All I need to do now is have her framed and sitting next to feather fairy. The coincidence about finishing Halloween fairy was that I actually finished stitching her on Halloween. It wasn't meant to work out that way but it did. We don't celebrate Halloween much here in Australia although it's just starting to be more recognised.
I don't have anything else in the pipe line as yet but I hope to soon. I have a tub of stash stacked away so I could easily just pick my next project but I am going to wait and see what comes to me first.
Hopefully I get back into my blogging and reading again. I really do love seeing what everyone has been doing.
Happy stitching xx
