Well, I was right not to say bye for now... yet. This is the proof that the project you are working on is very important to your progress.After finishing the dragon and deciding to put the Halloween Fairy on hold, I decided to start the Tansy Fairy. This is a very old DMC kit, one of the first Flower Fairies. So old they made a second version of this fairy ! (this is the greeting card version).
I carried this kit around "just in case I finish the holiday project" for years. I thought it was time to stitch it for itself. A cute fairy stitching... what else do we want?
-------------------------
Comme quoi j'avais raison de ne pas fermer le blog tout de suite... voici une preuve de l'influence du projet sur la vitesse de broderie.
Après avoir fini le dragon et décidé d'abanonner (pour l'instant) l'Halloween fairy, j'ai commencé la "Tansy fairy", qui st un vieux kit DMC. Si vieux que cette fée a été refaite dans un nouveau kit !
Et je me suis promenée avec ce kit des années, vu que je le réservais pour le cas où j'aurais fini mes projets de vacances. Mais là, j'ai vraiment eu envie de la broder, donc voilà...
This is probably my last ost in a while. I'm definatly not motivated to stitch, especially the Hallween fairy (difficult colours and fabric...), so I finished my little dragon over here.


Looks like we are hitting the very slow period of summer when everybody is gone on holiday.... But let's show some picutres anyway.
Some of you will ask.. where is stitching ? Well... it's true I'm a bit out of it. But experience has shown that even if I have a certain time with another craft, I always come back to it. I plan on starting a fairy and making more inchies, biscornus and all once the packing is done. And mostly on holiday next week.


And finally here is an inchy I made earlier this week, but I only put the back fabric and the eyelet yesterday. 4 leaves, a few crosses and 2 beads in the middle... And it's so small I was able to put a mobile thingy on it !!!! Incredible...

Yesterday I got the boxes for my move... and I have about a week to pack my whole house !!! And of course I will have to sort out the essential stitch elements to take with me in a suitcase... wouldn't that be fun....




Ah, the tree from Hell... Not only the twist and turns from the pattern are hard to follow, but I had to unpick re-make most of the tree, as I made so many mistakes along the way...
Yet another snowflake... No major incident on this one, except I forgot to anchor the last ring to the first, and so I had to attach it with an extra piece of thread... But overall you can't really tell ;)
