New Year, New Mira

Welcome 2014! I am so ready to start this new year off. So many great challenges and wins happened for me in 2013 but I am looking forward to starting this year off fresh while being content, happy and in love. I want to thank you for stopping in and reading my blog and sharing my stitching with me. I do love stitching there is such a therapy about it that only stitchers really get.

Me in 2014 - happy and in love <3

I started off right away in 2014 with a new Nora Corbett project. I am doing Faerie Autumn Glow. I have chosen a gorgeous opal brittney by Crafty Kitten called Mystical Garden. I love the vibrant fiery colours of this fairy.  Here is my current progress with my stitching helper, Miss Bella

I am planning do do all four of these seasonal faeries on an opal fabric. Right now I am contemplating wings or no wings.... before I decide I am going to do the full dress and maybe even the beads to see how it feels.

Here are the mock ups I have for the other three fairies. Thanks for help from the Design and Fabric Viewer I was able to find fabrics that I feel coordinate well.

Mock up of Summer Love on Crafty Kitten Glacial Ice

Mock up of Winter Dreams on Sunny Dyes Sugar Plum Fairy

Now I have to say the viewer does not have an accurate photo of Sugar Plum Fairy by Sunny Dyes - here is a picture of the actual fabric I am going to use....eventually.

Sugar Plum Fairy - has sparkles painted into the fabric vs. an opal which is weaved through the fabric

After Autumn Glow I would like to start another full size Mirabilia.  I am teetering between Lilly of the Woods and Persephone.  I also have plans to go away and stitch for a weekend coming up with some friends. We are going to do a new start on this weekend away and only work on it while we are together. I believe I am going to start a design I was gifted for Christmas by my friend Katy with a design by Pamela Kellogg called the 2003 Autumn Mystery Sampler... which looks very much like my Bella! 

Thank you Debi R for posting your work - found this photo on Pinterest - hope you don't mind I borrow it! xo
