I finished this sweet little fairy last night. I just love how she turned out. And she was a pretty quick stitch, too. Taking me only 11 days to complete. She is Nora Corbett’s Fairy letter J and I used the conversion from The Rocking Horse. Stitched on 16ct Aida Sage from Hand Dyed Fabrics By Stephanie.
This morning, I found this on my porch.
I had posted on my facebook page earlier in the week that I wanted seashells instead of snowflakes. And some sweet person actually brought me seashells and just made my day. So thank you to the sweet fairy who left me seashells. I just love them ❤ My heart is so filled with joy from such kindness.
Wish I could take credit, but it would take some pretty long arms! Congrats on the finish, she’s lovely!

Thank you, Sandra. I know what you mean about wanting to start something new. I need to work on WIP’s, too, but there is a reason I needed to start this one and get it done before summer. So I started the O last night and am hoping she is as quick a stitch as the J. Good luck with your WIP’s.

Love how she turned out, Ginny! You’re right, I like the pink in the dress better than the green that it was earlier.
And it’s so sweet of this secret Santa to leave you a gift! ☺

Oh, I love how it turned out. I think I like all the beading the best, espesually the red beading all around the little fairy. I can’t wait to see what the other two letters look like.

Thank you. The red beads are really pretty. They are micro beads and have some sparkle to them. I started the O last night so we shall see how long it takes me to do her.

Your fairy is absolutely beautiful. Well done. And so many little beads. I adore your work.
I could not help but smile when I saw your beach sand and seashells. I have a collection of sand and shells in my bathroom window. Each time we visit the coast for a holiday, I bring back a bottle of sand from the beach and shells I could manage to find. They get bottled and tagged and live in the window to remind me each day of the sun and surf and sea and good times.
I am sure your shells and sand will bring you the same smiles.
Have a great week. 🙂

Thank you, Joey. I do love all the little beads and I must say, fairy was so much easier to bead than mermaid. I enjoyed stitching this little fairy and now I am on the the “O”. It is also a pleasant stitch. I do love the seashells left by my sweet anonymous friend. I look at them and long for summer. They bring a smile to my face every time I see them. Your sand and shell collection sounds wonderful. Such a sweet idea.
