A job well done...

Cheering on for Amanda aka MiLighthouse. She has done this gorgeous "cameo" of my recharted version of the Lady of the Mist.

You can also see this LOTM at Amanda's Webshots Album .

I was finally able to see how it would look all stitched up... I think my rechart worked out quite nicely...whad'dya think?




She converted the hair to black, and added the necklace herself, which enhanced the beautiful miss even more...

I am just thrilled to see the outcome, it was hard work doing a conversion...But seeing it stitched by some1 so beautifully just made my heart swell and all the hard work has paid off...

There were quite a number of people who asked for my conversion, but i haven't seen any of the other ones yet...Can't wait ti'll they actually get to stitch her...

Thank you Amanda, for giving this a shot...And for such a beautiful finish you deserve an applause!!!

My new start...

I am going to start South Seas Mermaid tonight, I finished recharting her last night and it went really quick, I really want her to look less of an 'egg roll' I want her bare, in my head it will make her look less eel-y. She needs a curve...

This will be the fabby I will be stitching her on...



It's a silkweaver solo and i think it will fit her perfectly. It is actually alot more green-ish/bluish combo than it looks, and all the other colors mixed in quite nicely.

I envisioned her naked-ness LOL to look like this...


I can't wait to put her into magical stitches...But Life always gets in the way and I can't get away from it...But she will be started tonight and I can't wait...my itchy hands...can't wait...=)

A Happy dance for mwa!

I happy danced today. After i washed and pressed my finished piece, i started strutting around the house LOL. Actually i finished it last night, hubby was a little worried after i started dancing, he must think i had gone cuckoo!


I love love this piece, it is soooooooo fab, in my opinion. Who doesn't believe in destiny? Let me know and i will wipe some on to you..j/k!



Here it is (ala grand entrance)...



I personalized by adding our names. You won't believe how many times i had frogged the names off of this piece. I needed something that won't overpower all the other letters, it had to fit of course!



This is stitched using 32 count opalescent lugana "SUNRISE" from stab and stash. Very pretty!










I also did a rechart on Lady of the Mist (by Mirabilia) last night, I finished it this morning, and i think she will look more pleasing now without the roses in her chest. I really did think that those roses were out of place and I cannot stop thinking how she looks like she has very

hairy chest! It's just wrong! I up'ped her bodice a little bit and charted them with skin instead of those roses. I can't really imagine someone shoving roses in there! Besides of them having thorns, I'd probably bleed to death. tee hee... Plus I wouldn't want to be swarmed with critters, unless it's a dragon of course!





I don't have time to stitch her yet, but I would like to stitch her this way, skin is way better than those flowers! =)

Oh Happy Day!!!

A couple week's back I won the stitch-a-thon that the PR board does as a contest. The first time I did not win, but this time I won! I was so happy when Laura Lattuada of www.passionericamo.eu announced that she will be the one who will be gifting the winners with a prize from their wishlist, I never thought the prize would be this many, but she overwhelms me with her generosity. I received my package today and it made my heart leaped with joy!! Of course, her newest release which is My Lady of the Snow is in my wishlist and she granted me that wish...Aside from being a designer, I think she is a secret wishing fairy...


I took a picture of everything she sent me...
I am so overwhelmed, and I'm just so happy! I felt like i have wings in my feet!
I have never ordered or tried Venus thread before, though I have always wanted to but they are a bit pricey and the shipping from Europe is such a killer on the pocket, but now...I can try them and I feel so lucky! lucky! lucky!
Thank you Dawn, for creating the PR board and holding contests that make stitchers like me so happy!
And Thank you Laura! You even signed my chart, which makes it even more special! I will cherish your gifts and your generosity for the rest of my life! =)
