August Peridot Fairy start


Here is my start on Mirabilia’s August Fairy:

It’s not much, but it felt so good to start a new project.  I love the colors in her wings already. Here is a closer look.

I hope to get some more stitching done on this one this weekend.  Have a great holiday weekend.  Thanks for stopping in to see what I am stitching.

Mirabilia Round Robin

Finally, some stitching!


Ok, so in between running my youngest son around everywhere, and getting ready for my stamping open house, I was finally able to get some stitching in.  I stitched the Pixie,  Lily of the Valley for Karen’s Round Robin.  Lily turned out beautiful and I can’t wait to stitch her one day, in full.  Here she is:

I love the fabric Karen chose for her RR.  A beautiful hand dyed fabric with blue, green, yellow, purple and pink in the nicest shades.  And it’s sparkly.  Here is the piece as it looked before I put it in the mail today:

So beautiful.  Now I want to stitch some pixies.  Unfortunately, I have to get back to Snowman or Angel.  I promised myself that I would finish those 2 pieces before moving onto something else.  That’s another reason that I like stitching on the Round Robin…I can break away from my current stitch and do something different.  And I am really not breaking my promise since I am committed to getting the RR pieces done and in the mail by a certain date.  I should be getting my next RR in the next few days and I can’t wait to see what I am going to stitch on next.  Thanks for stopping by.

Fairy Flora


Good morning my stitching friends.  I am afraid I have been missing in action for the last few weeks.  It’s just been a busy time for me with my son just finishing up track, the end of school nearing, and catalog transition for Stampin’ Up!  So I am afraid that I don’t have any updates to my stitching projects as I haven’t been able to stitch much.  I did put the Mediterranean Mermaid in to be framed yesterday and will post a photo when I get her back. I also picked up a few things and ordered a few things, so I will share those later this week.   Today I thought I would share another one of my finishes from a while back.  She is Fairy Flora:

I finished stitching her up in 1995.  She is stitched on 28ct Jobelan, a pretty shade of blue.  It was the first time I stitched on 28ct fabric.  Well, it’s going to be a warm one here in Michigan today, so I need to finish the laundry before it gets too hot in the house.  I’m hoping to pick up my needle tonight and add a few stitches to something.  I lhope that your needle is gliding through fabric today, too.
