Waterlily - ready to take its place

Phew.....finally I got my Waterlily framed and all dressed up and now is ready to take its place in my front room. Super excited to see it hanging on the wall as it is my first Mira / Nora that made for myself.

So here is the pic of the framed piece.

Waterlily - 2012 Finish 

Happy Stitching...... :) 

Waterlily - Happy Dance

Thah Dhah......my Waterlily is now ready to go for some final makeover(framing). Super excited to do this Pixie. Started on 3/12/2012 and completed on 3/18/2012 - surprisingly completed this in just 6 days.

Here are some of the pics........

Waterlily - Moving on to beading

Waterlily is almost reaching its finish line. Little bit more gaps to be filled by DMC 553 and then will be moving on to back stitch and beading.....Yeh.....Can't wait to get her done and framed. Most likely this might be my first Mira / Nora Corbett hanging on my wall......Super excited. :)

Waterlily - Some more progress

Have worked on the pixie today and did quite a bit......Almost done with the wings except that I need to fill in the whites.....Planning to replace it with light pink(DMC 819). Wonder how it will come. I really am loving to stitch this pixie. So far it is pretty easy and fast moving pixie. Next will be her legs, hands and face. :)

Here are the pics as of today.

Waterlily - Day one effort

Here is the update from one day's stitching. I know I should be doing something else than stitching but the pattern seems to be so tempting that I started off on this one yesterday itself after kitting up. Facebook group is another bad influencer on me for stitching. The more I see the finished patterns, the more feel like wanting to see how mine will turn out to be. So here is the sneak peak of the day one effort. Colors are much brighter than seen in the pic. Seems to be a relatively easy pattern.

 Happy Stitching........

Waterlily - Curtain raiser

Now moving on to my second pixie(this is for self). Kitted up the required stash and realized that I am missing one DMC thread - 553. And the fabric (suggested one - 32 ct Antique White Jobelan) is ready. All I need to start stitching.

When I did the floss toss, the colors are really bright. Hoping to see this pixie shape up soon. Once this is done, then I will pick up Spring Queen (A relatively huge project) as there is nothing more in pipeline that I have kitted up.

Happy Stitching..... :)
