What?? You say? It's the Trick or Treat Fairy (ToTF). :)
I made a little more progress on her last night. I am using my own conversion from DMC to Crescent Colours. I especially like how her face and neck turned out with the Bella Rosa. It does not show that well in the picture, but I "manipulated" the thread a bit so that I could get the darker shades of pink for her cheek, under her chin and her throat. 
A teeny, tiny bit of progress on her...since those little frogs decided to pay her a visit....(and yep, I do add beads as I go along....)
I worked on Victorian Christmas Eve again. More greenery, her sleeve and the beginnings of her gown. She is about halfway done now. 
Bits and pieces of progress on both Oriental Harem Garden and Victorian Christmas Eve.
To have such a wonderful friend as Isabelle! She sent me some of the prettiest gifts for my upcoming birthday. Oh my goodness! How pretty is this fabric that she hand-dyed especially for me on which to stitch my Nora Corbett Trick or Treat fairy??
Then there is the beautiful book filled with tons of ideas for cross stitch and cardboarding! I cannot wait to give one of these wonderful pieces a try.
Believe it or not, there is more to come!! Adorable little heart buttons, each one sweeter than the last. There are purple floss rings to be used in a needlebook...and then....the gorgeous little pinkeep Isabelle stitched so beautifully over one!! This little design reminds me of Merry Cox. How great is this?
What?? Even more?? Yep...gorgeous antique scissors. They are great! And the Stitcher's Alphabet chart by A Mon Ami Pierre. Fantastic....that pretty much sums it up!!
Thank you, Isabelle, for your kindness and generosity!
