There is an Air one which I will do next, and an Earth one which I'm not tremendously keen on, so I shall muse on her for a while as they do grow on me. I'd like to do the Autumn fairy as well so might do that one in between Air and Earth

Lovely fabrics, and such pretty threads!

Great project

Progress:



the moon is all in Krenick!

Had a brief gap to do this for my dad - harder than it looks which surprised me!! But he loved it. I sewed it in the display hoop and I found it nicer and more even tension than a real hoop, though it was difficult to put on! The outside ring is rubbery.

your update on water goddess is fabulous! Very pretty!! And you've done so much on it in such a short time!
Love the finished project you did for your dad--just perfection! Where did you find the design--I've been looking for something like that for a while!
Great stitching

So pretty

Thanks

Karen - the design for my dad is out of a book that was by Cross stitcher mag, which is a sample of a whole bunch of D&C books - the actual book it was out of is "Quick to Stitch Cross stitch cards" Its actually a Joan Elliot design (though I would argue it being quick to stitch!! took me 3 days!!)

She looks like a Goddess. You have done so much in such a short time. And with time out for your Dad's present too. Lovely.

Faith

Great work on Water Goddess and such a nice gift for your father.

You did excellent work Water goddess is so pretty

Another update



Sorry its not the whole thing but you get the jist! The next section is pretty stitch heavy so will not be so quick, but less Krenick....(all the water is krenick)

I've got to go to hospital again tomorrow, but hopefully only as an out patient, been having real problems with my brain stimulator, which is interfering in my stitching, how dare it!!! Had to spend the afternoon in bed today, when

She is so pretty and you have done such a nice job. I like Krenik but it isn't always the easiest to work with and you have really made it look lovely. I hope that they can get you feeling better. Anything which intereferes with stitching should just not be allowed.
Feel better soon.

Your work is beautiful.

Best wishes at the hospital, hope all goes well.

Beautiful update! Hope your hospital visit is a very short one.
