Pretty! And there's sparklies in there already, right?!?

Lisa · **Posted:** Fri Jan 28, 2011 5:54 pm

there are indeed Mable. Krenik 015. Very subtle though normal DMC is cross stitch 2 strands, but the krenik is cross stitch 1 strand. I thought that it wouldnt look right but it looks lovely in person. Will try to get a beeter pic of the sparkles soon

Thanks everyone! Wish I was working on her now but instead I'm in work

only 2hrs of my shift left though :dance:

Yep she's designed by Joan Elliot.

The next in the series is iris. I'm not sure if I'm gonna do them all or just the daffodil as that's my fave flower.
