Country Garden Stitchery

  Some Spoonflower fabric samples with a nature theme and some checks to compliment.  You can find them here in my Spoonflower shop.   

The weather is a lot cooler, we've had some rain and I feel like sitting on the couch with my cross stitch project and a good podcast or movie, maybe both. I am almost finished with my letter C from Mirabilia. I am happy with how it is turning out since I decided to use Weeks Dye Works flosses rather than the Crescent Colors show in the pattern. I thought the colors matched pretty well. This is my first fairy project and I am excited to put her in my bedroom. I have a few other Mirabilia patterns to choose from, but I think I'd like to begin the Ashley's Roses. I love this one. I think it is because she has a "country girl" feel about her and I've always lived in the country. I also really like pink. I was browsing on Amazon the other day for a couple books and happened upon Gail Levine and David Christiana's new fairy book. I love the illustrations and the stories are very cute. I have all three now and am anxious to read this one. Ho...

I finally am caught up with Christmas things so I decided to catch up on IF topics too. I knew what I wanted to draw and paint, but had a hard time getting a few minutes. These were fun topics and I loved to play with the color on them. With "horizon" I wanted the feeling to be that you never know what is coming next, especially since the new year is upon us! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Here are all of my new creations. Technical difficulties on my post before. I think I really like these colors.
