It's been almost two months since I started Roses Of Provence. How time flies when you're having fun ;o) LOL! I know I gave you a little taste of her beginning but I've got a lot more stitched and thought you might like to see -
She's got color! I really wanted to get the beading done on and around her head but so far I haven't had any childless opportunities ;o) Maybe soon. I'm anxious to see some of that bling.
Her dress is gorgeous! There's no real pattern to it so after the white has been stitched in, it takes me awhile to stitch in the other colors. It's surprising how many colors Nora used; I think it's around ten.
I may not get a lot of time with her but I'm quite amazed at how much I've gotten done so far.
I have to apologize because awhile back I offered a pattern to whoever was interested and said I would draw a name if more than one person wanted it. Well, there were four interested parties so I drew a name and the winner was MOUSE! Congrats :o) I have your address and will be getting that out to you soon.
I also had another contest but it was a secret one. Just another way to show my thanks :o) I took all the names of those who commented on my January 28 post and got Random.org to pick a stalker. The winner was ANNE! Congrats to you too :o) Anne, you have won a complete kit and I'll be getting that in the mail soon as well.
Oh my gosh!! I won?! Here I am, finally finished report cards, catching up with blog posts...and I see me name! Thank you so much Pumpkin!!! That's a wonderful Saturday morning surprise for me! Roses of Provence is so pretty. I really love her dress and hair do. The bling will really make her sparkle and I'm looking forward to seeing her evolve!!

ReplyDeleteShe looks so pretty already :)
ReplyDeleteWill you start to add beads already? I usually stitch everything and and beads just after the backstitch. This way I can iron (on the backside of course heheh) without any problem and then I add the beads ;)
This makes me think about my nest pixie! I still have to buy beads for her but I've been stitching gorjuss heheheh I will have to find the time for my Pixie too :)
Congrats to the lucky winners! :D
And a huge hug to you! I'm so happy to see your stitching!! :) Hugs&smiles
