Much Overdue Update!

I was working today on Fairy Idyll and realized I have not updated my blog in a few days and thought Well I better get off my butt and do it so here is the eye candy for this week!

I got bunny feet!!!

Ok Ok Fairy Idyll has bunny feet. But progress is progress and I am happy to be almost done with the bunny. It's kinda hard to see the detail in the photo but there is a lot going on in this small section of the chart.

Floss Fairy FINALLY finished!

After almost four hours of beads she is finally done and can leave the stretcher. I can't say I am a big fan of Crescent colors and this linen together but The kit did come with enough fiber to finish the design. She turned out alot better then the photo shows on the kit. She has quite a bit of glitter to her which is hard to capture with the camera but I did my best since it is night here and no natural light to be found!

this last photo shows the dimension of the beads - SEE there was ALOT of them!

Floss Fairy Progress

I was hoping to be alittle further along on this but that seems to be the case for all my stitching lately. LOL Today I had no reason not to get as much stitching done as possible. The boys all sat down stairs with dad or played outside, there wasn't any amazing movie on that caught my attention. So no reason not to stitch.

I am almost done with all the stitching done with the crescent colors. I will then just have to do the  backstitch, kreinik, and beads. Of which there is a ton!

New Start - Floss Fairy

New from Mirabilia is "the Stitching Fairies" kits, This one is the "Floss Fairy". I just had to start it even though this will greatly postpone my progress on Fairy Idyll and Umbrella Sky. The Full kit comes with French Lace linen, 14 skeins of Crescent Colors, 1 pack petite Mill Hill Beads, 2 Packs of Regular Mill Hill Beads, 1 Pack size 8/0 Mill Hill Beads. Also included are two full spools of Kreinik size 4 braid. 

Here is the progress so far, granted I will be working on it for a few more hours and I hope to finish it by the end of the weekend. 

 

Here is the progress on Fairy Idyll 
over the last day or so, I really wanted this rabbit done by now but LIFE keeps happening! LOL

Mira book pages!

I Just finished the first page of My stitching journal. I am not a very good scrap booking person, I just don't 
see the finished pictures looking the way I think in my head but I think this page came out OK. I also included a pic of the title page.  It's hard to embellish this kind of book since it''s not a typical scrap book there is no room left between pages for the embossing or dimensional stickers. Which leaves me limited in the products I can use.

Fairy Idyll......

So far I have not kept to my schedule as closely as I wanted to but I am hoping still to make good progress today. Here is what I got done over the last three days. I hope to get through the ruffle and the ribbon across the center under the blanket today and maybe If I am lucky I can get the other side of this section that hangs down finished too.
