Summer Queen

Hello again, it's been a long while since my last post.  I am very happy to announce that I finally finished all stitching on Summer Queen and am beading her as I speak.. While I was waiting for supplies to come over (ran out of beads )  I finished a small project called Blue Oriental Lady.. not a Mira but I will post a little pic of her as well..... Hope to finish all beading by the end of this week :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

Hello everyone, it has been a long while since my last post. I wish you all the very best new year you can ever have, let's all make it a better one than the last.

I will soon post an update on Summer Queen, right now I am working on her head, and backstitching. Progress is a little slow because of the colour changes in her hair but I am getting there.  Then the plans for this year are to finish a little geisha I have started for my Mum, and a Honda Del Sol I am doing for my fiance. This is actually his car, took me already 1 year and 6 months of work, I am really hoping to finish it off by Valentine's at least. In the mean time I am waiting for the beads for Summer Queen so that I can complete it and before starting off with Autumn Queen, I have two kissing fairies (nothing to do with Mirabilia though) that Mum wants finished before anything else gets started. You see she had bought me Day Fairy, Night Fairy and the Kiss some 10 yrs ago and I only finished off Day fairy, which is a little bit of a disgrace from my part... don't you think?! Well anyhow, that is the plan for till end of April hopefully. I will be showing you whay I am up to on these other projects as well.

Anyways, I will catch up with you next Friday with a stitched up Summer Queen (beadless).

Till then, take care :)

Progress

Hi again, wish you all a good week :)  This is as far as I got done last week, it wasn't a very productive week but I did put in some of the white. I am trying to finish off the dress first before I move on to the cloak and then the rest of her majesty.

I wish you all a good week, and talk to you in a week's time with hopefully some good progress on the queen.

Update on Summer Queen

Here I am again, one week away from the last picture of Summer Queen.  She is quite a quick stitch I must say and I've been working all evenings on it to get it to the finish line. I am trying to finish off the dress first :) Here is a picture of my progress :)

Summer Queen

Now it is time to start off a new Mirabilia and Summer Queen is following.  I started stitching on the 20th of October and so far I have these two progress pictures. The first one show all the work done from the 20th till the 22nd while the second picture shows the progress after spending a whole day stitching last saturday. I am stitching my way through this week as well and I hope to have some good progress by the end of the week.

Spring Queen

This was my first ever Mirabilia. I stumbled upon Mirabilia designs round about last January when I was looking for a beautiful fairy that I saw stitched up at a cross stitch fair that was held here in Malta.  When I was going through the pictures I found out that I already had a pattern that was given to me ages ago by a friend... Roses of Sharon (as I found out it's name). I made a big list of what I want to stitch and off we go. Started the Spring Queen and Poppy pixie at the same time.  I only finished beading them up last week though as I had left them in a safe place until materials arrived :) Here are the pics of my beloved Miras :)
