Waiting for Ships

Waiting for ships Mermaid
 Waiting for Ships by Mirabilia stitched by the Crone and the Maiden, unknown fabric (most likely a 32ct Belfast).
Waiting for Ships head
 The beading on this was much more intense than I anticipated, I felt like I was bead weaving!

I am very excited to have the last of my commissions finished and can now focus on one of my own projects... but which one remains to be seen!

Seriously a Serial Starter!

Three for Tea
 I loved The Mother's post so much I went straight home and started taking photo's of my WIPs... then quickly discovered there were too many, so a Mirabilia's only update seemed appropriate! Three for Tea, my most recent project (before commissions)
Enchanted Mermaid

The kiss
 The kiss (which has caused quite the debate, for I am going to restart this one and hopefully the Mother will take this abandoned attempt and finish it)
Mother's Arms

I am dangerously close to becoming a serial starter - WIP Update

Faith, Hope, Love by Workbasket - one over one on a scrap of natural linen.
 
 
You are my Sunshine by La D Da - no idea on the fabric
 
 
 Tulip by Mirabilia - again no clue on the fabric - It is an opal. :)
 
 
 Justice by Stephanie Law via HAED - 1 page done, 12 to go [sigh] 
 
 
Persephone by Mirabilia on PTP Pickled - almost to the flip the pattern stage.
 
 
 Officer Grizzley by Stoney Creek - I may have this finished before he retires :^D
 
 
This was a DMC free pattern (that I LOVE)  and that I ran out of room on my fabby.... so I have another piece to stitch the last two

Scary Tail!

Waiting for Ships Mirabilia
I have gotten a lot done in the past 6 days on Waiting for Ships, but the amount of stitching required to finish this tail is quite overwhelming! It is stormy here, so I am definitely in the mood to stitch!
