Malvidian Dreams – My Time Stitching

Hello my blogging friends! It’s a bit of a snowy day outside, so I am inside, organizing, cleaning and now it’s time for a blog post 🙂 Thanksgiving is over, and I kept my emotions under check better than I expected to. And ever since, I have been cleaning and organizing and making piles to give away and donate. I tend to do this when I am sad or angry. It feels good to get organized and having things put into place. I really cleaned my laundry room and my craft room, making room for new storage containers 😉 I am hoping my craft room will be better organized for me to get in there and get my Christmas cards made and get back to my scrapbooking. Now onto stitching stuff!

First, I have a finish. Pink Princess is complete and I am over the moon in love with her. I even found the little butterfly bead to put into her hand instead of stitching a butterfly. Not sure if you can see it in the photo. It is a beautiful bead with blues and greens and purples and pinks. Perfect for her hand.

I think she turned out so amazing! She is Dawn, the Fairy Spirit of Grace by Passione Ricamo. I stitched her without the wings, even though she is a beauty with them as well. I stitched her on 16ct Aida Tintagel from Fabrics by Stephanie. A gorgeous Princess on a gorgeous piece of fabric.

So now I am back to stitching on the Treasures of the Deep piece. November mermaid is up right now.

I finished all the stitching last night. I am hoping to get the backstiching all done tonight so that I can dive into a new project. Yeah, I know, another project, right? Anyway, this one is Treasures of the Deep SAL from Shannon Christine designs. The fabric is 16ct Aida Maldivian Dreams from Fiberlicious. Just December and January left of this SAL and then all the gorgeous, sparkly beads can be added. This one is really blinged to the max!

So, what is my new project you ask? Well, it is another mermaid. This one is Aquamarina from Bella Filapina. I ordered her in August and she arrived sometime in October. I quickly gathered up all the DMC threads, beads and Kreiniks for her and special ordered a fabric for her. Last night I received this gorgeous fabric and I squealed with delight!

Oh my gosh! Isn’t it just breathtaking? It is 16ct Aida from Fantasy Dyed Fabrics. Johanna did an amazing job on creating this one for me. So I am hoping to start this new project tomorrow, even if I have to stay up super late finishing the back stitching on the November mermaid.
