An old UFO making a comeback!

This is Lavender and Lace Angel of Winter. I started her a few years ago, and got some reason (don't remember why) I put her away. I was looking through my craft closet for some fabric, and came across her. Needless to say- she got some well-deserved attention. I really want to finish her now:)

Madame

Got another chunk done, finished off her bun and the oval shape of the portrait is starting to take shape.

Roses of Provence

I've been working on her lower skirt. I love the soft dreamy colors in this design, especially on the Sandcastle fabric. She's really gorgeous in person!

Back to Madame & Nora's Alphabet framed

Well now that I finished Biondina, I'm back to working on Madame. This is a Golden Kite pattern, and I'm stitching it on  18 count, full cross. After stitching Biondina in tent stitch, full cross sure does seem slow...
This is 11 pages done.
I also framed up Nora's Alphabet.

Biondina framed:)

I am so happy with how she came out! I don't usually use mats when I frame my finished pieces, so I was a bit concerned when I went to pick her up at Michaels. She's double matted and the top mat is velvet. I love how the inner mat and frame have red in them that go so well with the red in the picture. Love her!

Elizabeth and the Lavender Sky

She such a relaxing stitch, it's going along very smoothly. No beads or treasure braid. She's really fun :))
