Thank you Mabel
A bit more:
That is all of the centre picture done at the top. About to finish off the bottom half (yes it is raining again
) Then it will be the corners, border and the beading left.

I've finished the centre section bottom:
And started going round the small flowers in the border. Its not exciting, rather a stitching job to get done.
Now I have a problem: the weather is improving and the garden is calling but I need to complete this piece
The garden has won

It may not be exciting but it's very pretty!
I'm afraid the garden never wins with me, unless it's sitting in it with a book

Garden is winning more occasionally, although the weather was certainly against it today!!

Hopefully finish this tomorrow

A day late but:
I'll take some decent pictures in natural daylight tomorrow assuming I managed to find the next one to do from my stash by then

Beautiful. One day, we'll have the pleasure of seeing all of these fairies together, perhaps.

Thank you
I am pleased with her:
Here is some of the bead detail around the edge:
And her smile:
And all 4:
I have loaded a higher res one here:

But I think I need to mount them on their backing boards and put them together so there is not so much space between them
I have been busy this morning:
Its all set up and ready to go and I need to go and get my breakfast/lunch

Thank you Mabel,
I have been reviewing my next piece: There is no beading
There is a bunch of over one in single strand
There is also a bit of stitching using blending filament over one half of the cross. And some half stitching to catch me out (again
)
I really should be getting on with other things rather than doing this new one
I am planning to take all four fairies to my sewing group on friday so mounting will be after that. I have the set of frames ready to go, with matching frames for this piece and another for the final fairy in the collection.

Thank you
I have started the next fairy:
I am currently heading out towards the left side from the centre and I am about half way to the outside edge. The centre stitching is solid on this one with only the border area with any fabric showing so it will take longer than the previous four Fairies.

A bit more:
The Fairy on the right is all single strand over one and I need to be in the right mood to want to do that type of stitching.
