New Year New Starts!!

I decided to start Mira' s Blubell for the Enchanted Fabrics SAL.

I also decided to indulge myself by finally "officially" starting Chatelaine's Persian Iris Garden. This beauty has been a long-time favorite of mine, and I'm thrilled to have started it!

Small update on projects

First, is a photo of my two mermaids for Wendy. :)

I plan to change the frames so they match.

Here I have posted a picture of Chatelaine's Konstantinople Hammam - a new class. This is Part 1 done in DMC conversion. I think the colors are a bit different , but hopefully still in the same family.

Final Finish for 2010!!

Mirabilia's Shimmering Mermaid was my last goal to finish for 2010, yay! Poor thing has been hanging around unfinished for waaaay too long! Now she will be washed and framed and take her place next to Deepest Love Mermaid on the wall! I did modify her hair a little and added a crystal to the middle of the compass, the fabby is 28 count lugana self-dyed. Eventually I'd like to stitch all the Mira mermaids, and already have several kitted and ready to go. :)

(also included is a pic of my kitten Sally sleeping next to Shimmy)

Update

I got some work done on Mirabilia Fairy Idyll, as well as Chatelaine Cuban Mansions for the Chat WIP-killer contest

Hummie Update!

Rounding the second corner of this gorgeous lacy border!!

6th page done on HAEDs Journey

I love this piece, it has so much detail. Lots of confetti for sure!

I've been working on this one on and off since 2007, so I'm going to try to make it a focus piece for 2011. I've completed roughly 6 out of 20 pages. Next I'm back to work on Hummingbird Mandala!

Update on Hummie - first diagonal corner

I'm continually amazed by the delicacy and intricacy of this lovely mandala. I couldn't help wanting to share!

note - there are a TON of beads that I'm not stitching on till the rest of the stitching is completed.
