Hello friends! Happy March! I have no idea where February went, but I do hope that March slows down a bit. And it is coming in like a Lion! This is what it looks like out my window right now:
Really? After all of our snow had finally melted and we have had temperatures in the 50’s the last 3 days. We are expecting 4-6 inches today. It has been snowing steady for the last 4 hours and starting to pile up out there. Good thing I have no plans to be out today or tomorrow. Enough about the white stuff. Let’s get to the stitchy stuff 
First, I brought this adorable little pixie home from the framer a couple of weekends ago.
She is the White Trumpet Angel by Nora Corbett. I stitched her on a one of a kind hand dyed fabric from Fantasy Dyed Fabrics in 16ct Aida. If you haven’t checked out her fabrics, you should. She usually posts new fabrics on her Etsy on Monday’s and you can purchase what she posts right away. She has great customer service and super fast shipping. She is so sweet! I have yet to hang her in my craft room, (the framed piece, not Johanna, LOL) but I will. She will join the other 3 pixies I have hanging in there.
I have been stitching on the Passione Ricamo 20th Anniversary piece and finished the first block a few nights ago. Sorry for the crooked picture.
This piece is going to be amazing when it is finished. Here is a close up of the block I just finished:
It was so much easier stitching this block than it was that Fairy to the right. It probably took me about a week of evenings to stitch her. I hope all of the blocks go as quick, then I can have this piece finished in a few months. Wouldn’t that be awesome!
And I have a new start! When you see what it is, you will know why I couldn’t resist…
A year of mermaids!!! WOW! As soon as this was released, my BSF (Best Stitchy Friend) sent the link over to me and I caved almost immediately. She is such an enabler, LOL. But I love her and she knows me so well. So this is a year long SAL designed by Shannon Christine and put out by Fiberlicious. I have received all of my supplies and started it the other night. Here is my progress:
The mermaids are birthstone mermaids and the SAL starts with February. Isn’t she just the sweetest little mermaid? And boy is this piece full of bling!! But my beads and crystals will have to wait until the very end. I am stitching on 16ct Aida Maldivian Dream from Fiberlicious. It is a beautiful hand painted fabric. If you are interested in this SAL, you can order through Fiberlicious.
Well, that is what I have been up to. What are you up to these days? Do you have any new starts? What WIP project are you trying to get finished?
