May WIPocalypse, late once again!


Still working on my fairy - she was easy, the pumpkins are giving me a hard time!
I have also seen two finished pieces, both had such wonderful fabric I'm thinking I should have picked something else.  But, too late for that, I'm sure she'll be just fine.
  Has anyone ever tried to colour or stain the fabric after it was stitched?  I thought about tea staining around her, but not sure I really want to mess it up.

Nothing else too exciting going on, except we had a meeting with an architect/designer this week and need to find out a couple things with the county before going forward with the house.  Still playing with the building blog and not sure I'm doing it quite right so I need to work on it some more.

January 9, February 7, March 8, April 6, May 5, June 4, July 3, August 1, August 31, September 29, October 29, November 28, December 28

    Hi Astrid! How did I miss commenting on your last post? What great pictures, and your fairy looks more amazing every time I see her! The wedding pictures from the previous post are amazing...love how the bride and groom together make 2012. Cute!! I haven't tried getting back to your house blog, I'm kind of lost in a fog lately, but will try again soon. Hope to see you soon! *Hugs*

    Your ToTF is amazing looking, Astrid. Keep up the good work! (I'm always late for my WIPacolypse posts. Except for May's. May I managed on time. So don't feel bad. I'm one for five, lol.)

    I think she looks GREAT! The fabric is a nice neutral but if you do something else to add some color, let us know! Curious how it will turn out! I assume if the threads are colorfast it should be an issue .

    The fairy is so lovely!!! Thanks for showing this project. I saw it on your blog some time ago and managed to find a copy of the magazine. I think you choose the right fabric for it. If you really feel it needs kind of extra color, maybe you can try to add that when you pick a frame?

    I love your fairy and I also think the fabric colour is fine. Don't think I would be brave enough to try tea staining after stitching just in case something went wrong & everything was spoilt!
