Hello. I finally finished August Fairy this morning. Early this morning. I put the last bead on at 1:15 am, this morning. This, after stitching for about 15 hours on Sunday. Here she is:
She is stitched on 16 ct Aida, Milk Chocolate. I think she turned out beautiful and I hope that my Mom likes her. I called the Rocking Horse on Sat. and they said that if I brought my piece in on Monday, they could frame it in time for Christmas. So that is why I stitched until my eyes crossed all day on Sunday. Here is a close up of her sweet face:
She is a beauty. Thank you Nora Corbett for such a beautiful design. So off to the Rocking Horse I went to put her in for framing. Here is the frame I chose for her:
I liked the swirly pattern that matches her beaded wisps. And there is a hint of red here and there that really brings out the beads on and around her head. I can’t wait to get her back later this week. Here is another look at the gorgeous frame:
I will be sure to post her once I get her back from the framer.
Did you happen to notice that it is snowing on my fairy? Scroll up and watch a second….see it? Isn’t that cool? I can’t take credit for that. WordPress allowed me to add that to my blog for a while. So for now it will snow on August Fairy. Thank you for stopping by my place to see what I have been up to.

Thanks, Karen. Yeah, the Rocking Horse was very accomodating. So much so that I just returned home from an evening of shopping and there was a message on my machine that my framing is done!!! Wow!!! I took it in yesterday and it is ready today. That is service! Can’t wait to pick it up.
