I made a mistake in the tree colors when I changed then into anchor but other than that is worked up really easy and fast. The beading did take three days but wasn't too difficult to manage all the different beads. The fabric I stitched this on is more pink than the picture shows and this really isn't one of my favorites of Miras but I had the kit and it was a gift so it had to be done.<br />
<br />
Now i am working on Villa Mirabilia on 40 count. I am only doing the sign at the bottom to mount on the front of a fabric book I made. I'm not sure what to do about the tiny beaded areas...any suggestions?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002963874246336363.post-59223487448762611222012-11-10T02:48:00.001-05:002012-11-10T02:48:16.883-05:00The seaside kingdomI begin a week ago, this kingdom with beautiful colors and a lot of beads.<br />

<br />
What a pain it was to stitch this window. It took me forever and I don't want to see DMC 535 again for quite some time. <br />
My theme this time will be Christmas! I will add snowflakes beside the names, and snowflakes and icicles to the windows when it is done.<br />
<br />
The photo does the fabric no justice. It is Silkweaver 28 count lugana called Wandering Ivy. <br />

This one was started on February 26th of this year and I knew it was going to be about a year long project. In actual time, I probably stitched on it for a total of 3 or 4 months (because I put it away a few times to work on other projects). However, I am finding out that I am not a very fast stitcher. If I stitch on and off all day and evening, I might get 400 - 500 stitches completed. No matter how hard I try, I just can't get anymore done than that. I don't know if that sounds like a lot or a little to you. I know some of you work and get about the same amount of stitching done, so I think I am just slow but with more time to stitch than some. <br />
<br />
Fairy Flora is stitched on 32 count opalescent hand dyed lugana with dmc thread, 2 threads over 2 fabric threads and mill hill beads regular and petite.<br />
<br />
The same day I completed Flora, I started Mermaids of the Deep Blue with my own color conversion. This one is being stitched on 28 count (which is what I now prefer) opalesent lugana from Sunny Dyes fabrics, the color is "Surf." The link can be found on my sidebar of my blog and the conversion is also on <a href="http://www.tajinaz9.blogspot.com/">my blog found here.</a><br />

I have stocked up for probably the next year. The one on the far left is Polstitches called Friendship which is a twin of the one I used for Mediterranean Mermaid. The one in the middle is a small piece from Crossed Wing Collection (no opalescents) called Blueberry. The 5 pieces on the right are all from Sunny Dyes Fabric, a new fabric dyer I have found. This is my first time buying from them and I had great customer service and the product looks great. The link for their website can be found on my sidebar. I am in a 28 count mood these days, it just seems to look so much nicer and more even than 32 count in my opinion, so I felt the need to stock up on this count fabric. Most of these will probably be used for Mirabilias. Maybe a Passione Ricamo or Lavender and Lace might make it on one of these as well as some Heritage Stitchcrafts (I am liking the Valerie Pfeiffer Duets series and am contemplating the Elegance series).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lTl665EvqhI/Tq8143bNs_I/AAAAAAAABLI/G0Mt8_hSrQ8/s1600/DSCF2104.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lTl665EvqhI/Tq8143bNs_I/AAAAAAAABLI/G0Mt8_hSrQ8/s320/DSCF2104.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Here is the progress I am making on Fairy Flora as of late; I am really trying to hustle on it since I am so close to finishing. Also, I met some ladies at a stitching get together this week who have really inspired me so I have a new enthusiasm for my stitching projects.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pZ5OOk2tbPs/Tq82QyZerJI/AAAAAAAABLQ/r7O3Qzy8Fps/s1600/DSCF2102.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pZ5OOk2tbPs/Tq82QyZerJI/AAAAAAAABLQ/r7O3Qzy8Fps/s320/DSCF2102.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I also added a little to Venetian Opulence since I last posted about her but instead of being done in a couple of weeks (this one is going to be just a portrait), I will not be done until sometime after I complete Fairy Flora.<br />
<br />
When these are completed, I will start Mermaids of the Deep Blue On the Aqua fabric you see pictured above.<br />

It has 2 mats, the top being suede and has a specialty cut in the corners. The frame itself is a silverish tone with embellishments on it. I love my framer, this only cost me $106...seriously, no joke. (I always choose from the less expensive frames and always choose regular glass so I save money there).<br />

This one is being stitched on 28 count Crossed Wing Collection's lugana, the color is Blueberry. Unfortunately, there is no opalescent in this one. I waited so long for Silkweaver to correct their error on my other piece of fabric meanwhile waiting to start MotD and nothing ever showed and since I am not sure if I want to use the original fabric they sent me or not and not wanting to wait a long time for a fabric order, I decided to order something from 123stitch. Their service is incredibly fast, I received this order in 2 days. They don't have any opalescents though. This piece, Venetian Opulence, is going to be a portrait and not the entire design.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002963874246336363.post-16086406287886908442011-10-18T10:54:00.003-04:002011-10-18T14:56:05.077-04:00Forest Goddess Happy Dance!!!Finally my first Mirabilia is done<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j188/eowyn987/stitch/Forest%20Goddess%20by%20Mirabilia/049.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j188/eowyn987/stitch/Forest%20Goddess%20by%20Mirabilia/049.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Forest Goddes by Mirabilia<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">32 ct Lugana By Silkweaver in Dusk<br />DMC floss and Mill Hill Beads as listed<br />02/2008 - 10/2011<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">It's been a loooong journey, mainly because I could't decide wheter stitch her skin over 1 or over 2, tried both a couple of time, and in the end I thought she'll look good enough with over 2 skin.<br />She's not exactly like the chart, a lot of errors here and there but I think not even I will be able to see them now.<br />I've got a lot of wips to work on right now but I'll try to finish JGF by the end of the year.<br /></div><br /></div>Valentinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05770105355672712607noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002963874246336363.post-61121040539565538732011-10-12T12:29:00.000-04:002011-10-12T12:29:05.768-04:00Mirabilia RR - The QueensHere is the latest Mirabilia RR that I am participating in.<br />
