Anyway, for Vonna and Margaret I made my Halloween fairy my Stitch-a-Thon project --
See, Vonna, she's got legs and some part of her shoes!!! lol Just for you, dearie.
Why had I been ignoring her? She's so much fun to work on! Tonight my hopes are to finish her feet and the leaves around them. It's too hot to sleep so I might as well stitch..... then again it's too hot to stitch too many things also. Cross your fingers! -- Thank you, Vonna, for exhorting me to give the girl some legs. And thank you, Margaret, for the impetus to get back to work on her.
And, get this -- I even managed 2 ornie starts and finishes between Thursday and yesterday --
They are Charland's tree from last year's (?) JCS and a modified LK from JCS (also last year I think). The beads are all courtesy of powwows and the floss used for the tree is Crescent's Belle Soie, but I don't remember the color name right now. I'm kinda hopeful in that I'm all excited about Christmas ornies right now. I'm thinking of declaring next week Ornament Week. Want to join me?
Oh, I got some stash last week that I've neglected to share. A bundle from Carrie's Creation Threads
She has the most jewel-like colors. Don't you just want to dive right in to those blues?

Nice stash haul! I received a Carrie's Creations in a floss grab bag from Jayne's Attic and you're right, they are the most beautiful jewel tones. Have fun stitching with those. :)

Looking good!!! I do love those Carrie's Creations colors. If I did more substituting for charted threads, I'd probably use them more. Happy Stitching!

Great progresson Halloween Fairy. The ornaments are very cute. And you are correct about the Carrie's Creation threads, I never realized all of those vibrant jewel tones were there. I may have to start picking up some of those here and there.
Hi Ruth,
She is looking great. I still haven't taken mine to the framers yet but have been showing her off. I have ordered Christmas Elf to do and I really like the pixie series from as well. Have resisited so far :o)))
