Autumn Fairy

Here is an update on my autumn fairy by Joan Elliott. I've completed the first page already (excluding the metallic stitches).

Here is how she is looking now

Please excuse the picture quality, I have no idea what happened with the settings on the camera, but it came out smaller than usual lol.

Until next time, happy stitching :)

November TUSAL

I am a couple of days late in posting November's TUSAL due to my card reader in my laptop having a bit of a hissy fit and not working. Here it is though, with a bit of festive pink tinsel :)

A Nice New Start

As you all know, last week I finished off Summer Fairy by Joan Elliott. After finishing her, I was left rather disappointed at the fact that I had finished her lol. I really enjoyed stitching her, so I decided that I would also do the other 3 fairies that are in the set.

After spending £68 on the other 3 fabrics for the fairies, I decided to do Autumn Fairy.

Here is my progress on Autumn Fairy so far

I HAVE A FINISH!!

Well, I'm pleased to say that my deadline has been met.  Back in October I told myself that I would have my Summer Fairy complete before Christmas, and I am pleased to say that I have indeed met that goal.

Here is my complete Summer Fairy.

All that is left to do is give her a wash and an iron and then find the perfect frame for her. :D Wooo!! 

A little update on some of my projects.

Well, I haven't done any stitching for the last few days as my stitchy bug has wandered off. I do have a couple of updates though.

First of all, my fairy. I have managed to attach a few more beads, but I don't like attaching beads with clear thread (my eyesight is a little poor) lol. So I would love to have a few suggestions on what colour thread to use for attaching gold beads (I will use white thread to attach the white beads).

Here is how the beads are looking now:

Another update is on the "I Stitch therefore I Stash" sampler. I have nearly finished this project, just the backstitching and french knots to do then it can be washed, ironed and put into a frame (yet to be chosen).

So far these are all the updates I have until my stitching bug returns to me.

Hope all are keeping well :)
