She's finished

I've had a busy weekend.   All my boys came this weekend as well as my daughter in Law and my beautiful Granddaughter.   It was my birthday on Sunday.  I had a wonderful birthday and the best bit was having all my boys here together.   

Anyway back to stitching and here is my finished Siren and the Shipwreck. 

I just need to get her framed and then she can join the other two mermaids already on the wall.

I'm going to start the new Lizzie Kate Christmas mystery sampler but I also want to stitch all the Country Cottage Needleworks Gingerbread Village.  I'll stitch them altogether and make a wall hanging.  I'm going to start the Lizzie Kate one tonight.  I really want to get this one finished for Christmas. 

Happy Stitching

Beading started and Wingham Wildlife Centre

Was going to post on Friday but my youngest came home from university for a short visit.  It was so nice to see him, he did not let us know just surprised us.

Here is my Siren and the Shipwreck waiting for her beads and treasures.  This is the photo I was going to post on Friday. 

I have started the beading, not my favourite part of the Mirabilia charts but it will be worth it once they are all on.

Hopefully the beading won't take long and I can start on my Lizzie Kate Christmas mystery SAL.

On Monday I went to Wingham Wildlife Centre with my son, daughter in law and granddaughter.   It was a lovely day.  It has changed so much  since I last went.  It was just Wingham Bird Park then.

James, Hailey and Kirsty feeding the fish.

Hailey and the crocodile,  they have a few of these photo boards.

I took some photos of the big cats, I tried to blur out the fences but you can still see them a bit.

They also have a Dinosaur area, lots of animated dinosaurs and even a sand pit where children can pretend to dig up dinosaur bones.

She's finished...

I have finally finished Mirabilia's Winter Queen.  I cannot believe I put her aside for so many years.  I have the Spring, Summer and Autumn ones as well to do but they will have to wait.

She is more beautiful in real life then she looks in the photo.  The beads took forever but so worth the effort.

Not sure if I'm going to start Mirabilia's Siren and the Shipwreck or Snow Queen next.  They are both calling me to start them.

Happy stitching

Beading the Winter Queen

I have finally finished stitching Mirabilia's Winter Queen and for the last three days I have been adding the beads.  Hopefully it will not be long until I have finished adding the rest of the beads and the back stitching. 

Sorry about the photo it's a bit dark.  

There are so many beads but she will be so beautiful when I have finished adding them.

I have decided to stitch another one of the Mirabilia mermaids when the Winter Queen is finished,   probably  the Siren and the Shipwreck.  I do love Nora's mermaids.

Happy stitching
