Sabrina

Hi everyone :D

Here is my latest on Sabrina. Please note my previous photo was a little out of date and I didn't take a new one before starting so I haven't done as much as it looks like I have :D



I'm really enjoying all the inspiring photos and updates lately!

Art Deco Spirits

I've not posted here in a very long time, but my Art Deco Spirits which I started in 2009 has finally made it to the top of the pile!

Here's Kathy (our loyal blog moderator) and I showing off our Mirabilias as we stitched together this weekend!

Royal Progress

Here she is again! I'm almost there. I am obsessed. I have stitched until my neck is so stiff I can hardly move it!

I need to rest but I want her finished! I am so close. Hopefully by weeks end she will be stitched, washed and ready for beading.

Finishing up Sleeping Beauty

It's time to drop out of rotating projects and get a finish in!

I broke out Sleeping Beauty again last weekend, and I'll be working on her until she's finished.   This week, I managed to get her skirt done, which was quite a challenge.

A lot of shading and working in a swirl pattern which will be beaded once all the stitching is done.  It was a bit tedious because there's so much room for error there - ack!  Anyway, it's done now, and as you can see, I'm adding still more roses.   There's still quite a bit of work to do on her, but she's coming along nicely.

Update on Royal Holiday

Well here she is finally.
This is where I was when I went on holidays to our cottage 3 weeks ago.

And here she is as of yesterday.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I got to the end of her dress. That was a monster.And did I tell you - I HATE Wisper thread.  But, it looks so beautiful done.
I tend to work a rotation but that will be on hold for now. I can see an end in sight and so I will focus on Royal Holiday until I am done.

I also won a giveaway on Carolyn's blog and this is what I won. Surprise!!! Another Mirabilia - a limited edition kit - Miss Valentine. Carolyn says she is glad that I won since I moderate this blog.  This has slipped into my bag and will be my next Mira after Royal Holiday is done.

Forest Goddess growing on

Hi!

It's been almost a year since I last posted, introducing myself and my first and beloved Mira, Forest Goddess.

Since there, she's been constantly growing and now she's almost done.

When I first showed it to you she looked like this:


After the summer, I pushed her aside and worked on other projects until Christmas, when I took her out again and by the first days of the 2010, she has grown a little:


I kept working randomly on her throughout the spring, and around Easter... the bottom was reached!!


And here is where I stopped, turning my attention on other projects, mainly because of her skin. I first started it over 2, but I didn't liked it, so I frogged it and restarted it over 1, which has been a nightmare (never stitched over 1 before) so I refrogged it again, and now I must make myself happy with the over 2 to start working on her again!

That's all, happy Mira stitching to all!!
