Letter B fairy finish!!

Yay! Another Mira finish! I put the very last of the beads in just moments ago. There are places where I just had to make do as I counted and recounted and yet it wasn't correct. While I do not mind the wholesale ripping out of DMC multiple times, Crescent Colours I do!


Welp, without further ado, here she is.

Finished Tuesday, August 12, 2014:

And on a sad note, Robin William died yesterday in an apparent suicide. I never knew the man personally, but he brought me so much joy with his truly magical talent. Genie of the Lamp from Aladdin was a favorite, but it was his lightening fast improv that was the best. The bit from Inside the Actor's Studio is just sheer comedy gold. According to legend, he was there for 5 hours!

Well, I best be off. Time to get some tea and clean up the detritus so I may spend time with Ms. Ana :)! Hope everyone is having a great week! :)

In the home stretch

And thank God for it! The flowers in two sections I've had to rip out less than three times before I just threw up my hands and went, 'Make it work!'. All I have left to do now is fill in the wings, a wee bit more of backstitching, some beading and D.O.N.E.....done. 


Here she is as of right now:

Ana vs. The Mermaid

Woke up yesterday to a gawd awful headache due to sinus pressure. I could not concentrate on anything for very long, and I really did need a break from the Letter B fairy. I promise I will get back to her, but I really did need a break from fairies. She's not 'due' until almost September anyway :D.  As consequence, I began Bluebeard's Princess,  however, I had to stop shortly after, as the smaller holes were straining my eyes a bit with the headache that I had. Soooooo...out came Ana, a Bewitching Pixie, by the esteemed Nora Corbett. She's turning out very well, and I got quite a bit of the DMC 310 out of the way. :)

Well, at any rate, here are my Nora Corbett ladies, with their requisite pertinents.  :)

I have no idea of what I am going to do about the beadwork on a 40 count. I am in search of beads small enough, but I do not know if I will be able to find them and if they will be the correct colors. Ah, well. I will cross that bridge when I get to it! :)

Welp, I best be off. Need to clean off the desk and decide which of the ladies gets attention for the day. Hope everyone is having a fantastic week! :)

Letter B fairy update

Been plugging away at the Letter B Fairy , however, I am losing a bit a of steam on the project. I am anxious to get to Bluebeard's Princess. I am really chomping at the bit to get to that one. I am using Tajinaz9's conversion on Picture This Plus' 40 count Meditation from their Crystal line. I decided against waiting until funds came in to get the Polstitches' Friendship that Tajinaz9's conversion originally used. I think she will be just fine on the 40 count Meditation. I have promised myself I can start her as soon as the Letter B Fairy is finished. Bluebeard's Princess is all kitted up and ready to go, I just need to persevere as Letter B Fairy is a birthday present and is due next month. :)


Well, this is where I am as of just a bit ago:

Well, I best be off. Today is my Friday, and I need to get ready for work. Need to stop faffing about and make it look like I'm doing something. :P

Hope everyone has a great week!
