The dreaded bead

How have I not thought to label my bead containers before!?

Happy New Year!

While I might not have finished her in Time, family obligations and a flare up of back pain kept me away from the needle, she is none the less cherished as a finish! 

Miss New Year's Fairy by Nora Corbett.
Conversion:
DMC 310 for black coffee, 677 for deep fennel, a blend of 677/746 for deep fennel/blue beadboard, B5200 for frosted sage and 3371 for whatley woodlands.

May 2018 be filled with floss and fabric!
