It’s been about a month since I last posted about August Fairy. I’ve worked on her quite a bit and I am happy she is coming along. I have a few other projects that I am dying to start, but I want to keep plugging away on this one. My hope is to get her finished and framed in time to give to my Mom for Christmas. Her birthday is in August and I think she will love this one. So here she is so far:
I am finally getting to some other colors besides black. She sure has a lot of black in her dress, but it is striking and love it. It doesn’t really look like much on the computer screen, but I think I have stitched quite a bit. I have been wandering over to a mirabilia site on Facebook and can those gals and guys stitch fast! I wish I could have more time to stitch or stitch faster, but I am enjoying the stitching. I just have so many projects whirling around in my head and a couple all ready to start. But I am getting closer to that finishing point. I like to stitch my ladies and fairies from the middle down and then the middle up. That way when I get to the top, I can see my beautiful lady pretty much finished except for the beading. I always do my beading last. So, soon my lady will have a head and she will really come to life. How do you like to stitch your ladies, or people in general? Thank you for stopping by to see what I have been up to.
My Time Stitching 
She’s beautiful Ginny. How excited your Mom will be to get this for Christmas!

Thanks, Johanna. I know she will love it. She saw the pattern on-line when I was showing it to someone at one of my classes and she really liked it. She has no clue I am stitching so it will be a good surprise for her.

That’s just gorgeous! I love the blue. I usually do my beading last too as it means there’s less chance of them becoming damaged (even though I wind up the material with a hand towel in between.

Thank you. I end up rolling over my beads on my scroll frame, but they are usually not scrolled up for too long.
