Last quick update before Spring Break!

I've finished 28 pages on my Portrait of the Daughter, from Golden Kite. That just leaves one more full page and a few partial pages, YAY!!

IHSW Update

Busy weekend, not as much stitching as I would like, but what else is new?? :)

I worked on Rose Celebration. She has such a lovely face, and I'm really enjoying all the gorgeous beading, mmmmm.

LILY Happy Dance!

Just finished her up, framed with a frame from Michaels. Can't wait to find a spot for her in our new house! :)

IHSW Update

First up is my progress on Mirabilia's Liliy of the Valley. I stitched the majority of it this past IHSW weekend. Such a quick and fun stitch, with enough bling to be REALLY fun!!

Also, I did two more pages on the bottom of Portrait of the Daughter from Golden Kite. I swear they took me longer than any other two pages in this pattern due to the huge amount of colors making up her collar and skin. The effect is so beautiful, though very much like a painting. Thanks for looking!

Konstantinople Hammam Mandala FRAMED

Just got it back from my local Michaels, pleased as punch - they did a great job!

HAPPY DANCE!! first of 2012 :)

I finished Mirabilia Ros e Arbour. She was a delight to stitch. She ended up being bigger than I thought. I added tons of beads to her bodice and hem of her dress to add a little more bling. She's stitched on self-dyed 28 count monaco. Thanks for looking!

Some Project updates

 I finally got back to my Chatelaines, and here is the updated Spring Knotgarden. I finished the pink and blue border around the triangles, and started the beading and stitching of the last part. I'm thinking about leaving off the grasses between the blackwork and the triangles, because I think it looks messy and because I hate backstitch!! :)

I also made a ton of progress on Mirabilia Rose Arbour. I really thought this one was a smaller piece, but no-its really a full size. There are acres of stitching in that skirt !!!!!
