Giant Happy Dance

Yay, I finally finished Woodland Fairy:) Here she is in all her glory!














Started: August 2005
Finished:November 27, 2006
Stitched on 28 count Wichelt Natural Linen

As I was getting near to the end I really began to dislike the fabric I had chosen for this pattern. It is very stiff and it was hard to keep good tension on. After stitching on some other fabrics, I don't think I will ever stitch on something like this again. I also realized how much I prefer 32 over 28 count. But now she is done and I can get her framed. Maybe in time for the holidays.

For the rest of this evening I will be working on an ornie exchange and then tomorrow I will be starting on Bordeaux Mystery. I am a little behind Carol and Anne, but I will be joining in their SAL on this one. Hopefully I can catch up:)

For December, my rotation will be...
Monday/Tuesday-Bordeaux
Wednesday/ Thursday-Holiday Stitching
Weekends-M9 and other
