Nora's Pixies! June 9, 2013 stitching done

Post by LastingAllure »

As some of you know I have been super busy with school the past 3 months. I was officially done on Friday after we all went out for lunch. It was kind of frustrating because I lost my stitchy bug the whole 3 months I was in class...I think it was mainly from exhaustion. I did manage to get a bit done on Blue Bell:

She is for one of my aunties. I am still in love with it and I am thinking of doing her again, but this time doing her all over 1! I will have to make some changes like the beads but we will see, maybe I can sneak some petites onto it.

Next I just started yesterday afternoon. It is Ivy:

That's just about 6 hours of work. Again it is for another auntie of mine.

Good to hear your class is finished and you have your stitching bug back.

Beautiful work. Your aunts are very lucky.
