Lilac Progress

I stayed up late to finish her bouquet (except for beads) last night and even did a bit more copper in her wing. Isn't she perfect? I love her!





So I am not sure yet, if Bella will get pulled out tonite or nor..I am still really enjoying Lilac. :)

Lilac Spring Garden Progress



Ahh, she is so pretty! I had forgotten how much fun it is to stitch a Mira design. I got the missing kreinik I needed today so I will be able to get more wings done tonite. I am looking froward to getting back to her. :)

Tonite we have a pool party with our church, and the kids and I are really looking forward to it. Its from 6-8 and we get it all to ourselves. No blazing sun and no crowds, but we still get a lifeguard, yay! My mom picked up a couple of floats for Elora, who is 2.5 to try out. We are all going to the beach in a few weeks and this is a good chance to see how she does with them. One is a vest that makes her float, then the traditional water wings. I am afraid she will hate both, but she will have to use one of them. I hope she will cooperate! lol

Bella progress

Bella has a little skin now! And its beautiful! I love the orange highlights that she has in her hair, and got to fill in a bit of one. She is really bright IRL. She is going to be really beautiful I think. :)



I ordered Sheriella (also by Hannah Disney) during the 4th of July sale at HAED. And I plan to start her asap..that will make 3 Disney mermaids going and if Misty Morning were to get released, that will make 4, LOL! For now I will continue with Bella, but Valarie is starting to call out so I am not sure for how long. And I keep thinking it would be a good idea to finish Blue Beard Princess before my Meddy Mermaid fabric comes in, and I could easy if I just spent the time with her. I don't really like finish something, I prefer having them as a wip. Weird, I know. ;)

More Bella Progress

She moves quickly. I did do more outlining and got a tiny bit of red stitched in before my eyes couldn't take anymore. :) I will be working more with the reds for a bit, I am tried of black even if it is easy. So far no major mistakes but I have been counting and recounting a lot. Its worth it I hate frogging.



My missing DMC for Bella will come in the same package as the fabric for Meddy Mermaid..so I am anxious to hear that it has arrived. I hope this week!

I decided I am going to have to sculpt a baby soon. I would like to get the beads for Meddy and I also really want the Pixie Couture Lilac. So some of my afternoons will have to go to that soon I guess. But its for a good cause, lol. ;O)

Happy Stitching!

Bella progress

Bella is coming along! I hope tonite I can stitch in some of her hair, but I may make myself do more outlining. It gives you such a nice map to work where ever you want to and it goes quickly.



Thats a nice blue isn't it? Very bright IRL. She looks like she is going to be even more colorful stitched up. I am stiching her on 22 ct ivory fabric with one strand.

Well laundry waits, and the house is a mess. A perpetual state of being since the boys are out of school. ;) Tonite is church, yay. :)

Fairy Dust finished!

She's done!! I finished her up Saturday night, and even had time to work on Happy Ever After a little.

/

I also need to give some attention to my HEAD Beauty QS and HAED Biolumincescence Mermaid. These I love too, and want to work on them all. And then I am pretty close to having my Blue Beard's Princess done. I love having all these gorgeous projects in progress. :) I think I will work on BBP's this week, and see what I can do with her. I am pretty anxious to put some of her beads on, she is loaded with gorgeous sparklies.

Fairy Dust progress

I so hope I can finish her this weekend, so I can get back to Happy Ever After. I am going to work on her today and tonite, and as much as possible tomorrow. She is beautiful! I don't mind working on her its just my other project is screaming louder. ;)





She is coming out bigger than I imagined. In the chart pic, its hard to see all of her wings..she is mostly wings. After getting through the BS she comes along easily. :)

I just found out my litle baby Delaney should be here by Thursday! I thought it would take a lot longer but my sweet friend is sending her express for me. :)
