The seaside kingdom

I have just finished the seaside kingdom. I like so much to stitch it.Have a happy christmas.

2006 Christmas Tree- Finished

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.

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?

The seaside kingdom

I begin a week ago, this kingdom with beautiful colors and a lot of beads.

Framed Mirabilia RR

Thought you might like to see my two Mirabilia Round Robins after returning from the framers.

Here is the second one - I just picked it up today.

and here are the two of them together.

Terri's Mermaid of the Pearls

I am back to my stitching and the last few weeks I have been working on Mermaid of the Pearls. Here it where I stopped on it. It is coming along nicely. Sorry for the poor quality of the picture I took it with my phone.

fairy update

another week

it is a beautiful day so I think some lounging is in order.

Mermaid Number Nine

I started Shimmering Mermaid on May 12th, she is my ninth Mirabilia mermaid.  She is being stitched on 28 count opalescent lugana by Silkweaver and the color is called Aegean Aqua.

Bluebell

Yah I have finished Bluebell. She is stitched on a 28 ct Jobelan called Snowy Mountain  from Polstitches

Almost Finished

Almost a Finish Feb 12, '12 6:07 PM for everyone I almost finished the Christmas Elf Fairy but the kit was short a little bit on one color and some beads were missing. As soon as my order arrives I will finish her. I stitched her on a painted fabric that I bought from Dove Stitch on their ebay store. While I am waiting for my supplies I have started Bluebell,a Mirabilia. I am stitching her on a 28ct Jobelan from Polstitches. The fabric is called Snowy Mountain.She is very pretty, lots of Krenik on those wings!! Prev: a new start

New Mirabilia RR started and a Valentine Fairy finish

This is my first stitch on a new Mirabilia RR.

I stitched Garden Beauty and the yellow flower in the triangle on the left. There are no beads as the owner has requested that she will put the beads on when the round robin is complete. My initials are hidden in the triangle. Can you find them?

And I bought some fabric and finished my Valentine Fairy into a pillow - just in time!!!!

Progress on JGF

Hi all!
It's been a long time since I showed you may little fairy:
She looked like this back in August last year:



But she's grown since then, a lot, here she is:




I'm planning to finish her next month since I'm on the Theme-a-liciuos hosted by Heater, and the February theme is Fangirl February, which means you'll have to stitch on something from your favourite designer, for me, Mirabilia, of course!

Mirabilia RR 2012

Here is my fabric gridded for the 2012 Mirabilia RR.

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.
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.

The photo does the fabric no justice. It is Silkweaver 28 count lugana called Wandering Ivy.

Mermaid Mirabilia and my Mirabilia RR comes home

This is the last round of my current Mirabilia RR.

I stitched Deepest Love - and this is the RR to date. Gorgeous or what!!!

Oh, and here is my RR back home. I will be stitching Lily of the Woods - the Dreaming Fairy, in the missing spot.

Don't worry - I have a new Mirabilia RR starting in January of 2012 and I am moderating a Mirabilia RR starting in Feb-March of 2012.

Forest Goddess framed

Here she is... hope you like her!

Fairy Flora Completed Plus

I completed Fairy Flora on November 14th, 2011.  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. 

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.

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 my blog found here.

Savannah's Curtsy is ALL Finished!

I finished this a few days ago but I have been kinda busy! SO here some pics of the finished needlework and I will post more after I "frame" it!

New Fabric Stash

 I am officially addicted to hand dyed fabrics now.  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).

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.

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.

When these are completed, I will start Mermaids of the Deep Blue On the Aqua fabric you see pictured above.

You can visit me at The Mirabilia Stitcher.

Savannah's Curtsy

I also began a new start on Oct 15th....Savannah's Curtsy!  I am working on Buttercreme 40ct linen over two. Has anyone else stitched this one?

This is what I have done so far and I will be updating it daily on my blog....Will post a pic when I'm all done!

A Frame and A New Start

I am really happy with how Mediterranean Mermaid's frame and mats turned out.  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).

On October 15th I started Venetian Opulence.  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.

Forest Goddess Happy Dance!!!

Finally my first Mirabilia is done

Forest Goddes by Mirabilia

32 ct Lugana By Silkweaver in Dusk
DMC floss and Mill Hill Beads as listed
02/2008 - 10/2011

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.
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.
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.
