Happy Dance for "Rose Pixie"

Hurray, I am done with Rose Pixie...... Oo...La....La....La.......My first 2013 finish......Now it waits in the case for its turn for the final makeover (Framing).......

Rose Pixie - Finished on 7/5/2013

A Closeup of Rose Pixie - with her beautiful beads.....

 Happy Stitching......

Rose Pixie - Almost close to finish line

Finally after almost 7 months of putting away my favorite hobby (had some really good times and some were really worst times), got inspiration to pick Rose and make her reach the finish line. So here she is - would have reached the finish line.....if the back-stitch thread didn't run out of stash....... Now I have to shop for a DMC for back-stitching. No wonder, Mira or Nora design look ever beautiful and richly once the beads are added. This is my third Pixie (First being Evening  Primrose and second being Waterlily).

Rose Pixie - As of 7/4/2013

Happy 4th of July and Happy Stitching..... :)

Happy New Year 2013

Wishing you all a very Happy And Prosporous New Year - May 2013 bring in all the success, happiness and joys that you hope for.

Happy Stitching..... :)

Rose Pixie - Close to finish line

No complaints but these days, I am able to do stitching only on weekends. So the last two days I was working on her hair, wings and legs. God, I have confetti stitching....so many threads to change, and absolutely hate it if Mr Frog visits.  Thank goodness, her hair is done. Now only her hands and face is pending and they she will ready for her final finishes with back stitching and beads.

So here is it.......she still needs to get her glitters. :)

Rose Pixie - Getting her wings

Finally after working on her dress for two weekends, her dress is almost ready with her beads pendings. Now she is slowly getting her wings. Can't wait to get her along soon.

So here she is with her dress and blouse almost done.

Happy Stitching. :)

Rose - pixie - Getting her dress ready

After taking up a new job in finance, I hardly get time to do household chores (Well trying to get some lame excuse for my laziness). Now I am able to do stitching only on weekends. So this weekend, I have done some more progress on her dress. Seems to be a bit of challenge to do her pink dress though it is lovely especially with pink color variations being so close to each other. Just wanted to get over with her dress before I can move on to her wings, hands, legs and head.

Will be posting a picture of the latest soon. But again most likely my next update will be again on the weekend.

Happy Stitching...... :) 

Curtain raiser for Rose Pixie

It has been a while that I did any cross-stitching. Life has been bit busy but still having fun. Obviously facebook Mirabilia group is truly a inspiration for stitching. Now after seeing couple of finishes on the group forum, I decided let me start a new one. Yes.....was working on Spring Queen for a while but now I shelved it as I felt I need a new one to be hanging in my Family room. And what else could be completed fast enough than a Nora Corbett Pixie.

So yesterday I started on the Rose Pixie. But realized one of the threads - 3860 is missing. So in the near future, I might have to make a trip to Michaels or Joanns for that missing thread. I love doing Pixies, they are pretty and at the same time real fast projects. So here is the Rose Pixie after working for couple of hours since yesterday.

 I am planning to do Holly next. So I guess it is going to take a while before I start again on Spring Queen.

Happy Stitching...... :)
