I finished up another ten hour slot on Petal Fairy last night. (Plus about 30 minutes to finish the brown I had started in her hair). If you need to remind yourself of what she looked like before, check here.
I’m enjoying doing this in 10 hour slots. So far she’s the only WIP I’ve started timing, but it’s working well for me. It’s probably the most structured my stitching will ever get though.
Thus far, this is the only stitching I’ve done for 2006, which is somewhat disappointing. (Summer + Studying != Lots of Stitching Time ๐ *) Not sure what’s up next. I have numerous deadlines to meet in the coming 3 weeks :yuk:
In more chocolate-egg related news, Mum found me peppermint eggs today, whoohoo! Not Cadbury though. A slightly inferior brand, who I won’t embarrass by naming. Still good, but not as good, so I’m still pouty. I was slightly cheered when I Googled ‘Cadbury Peppermint Eggs’ and Million Stitches popped up #3 in the results :giggle: For the time being I am transferring my loyalties to Turkish Delight eggs. Mmmmmmm.

I’m sure chocolate eggs are cheaper to send to Oz than say .. marmalade.
Petal fairy is looking great! ๐
Regarding the Peppermint eggs – We are not hoarding them in WA – I went and had a look after your last post.
Best confess that I am a fan of Cadbury Creme Eggs (I think this is more to do with the fact that when we first got to Australia we weren’t able to get them for a few years and I felt deprived – now I rescue them from Coles at every opportunity).
Lovely progress on Petal – she is such a lovely design! Your recent Stash explosion is a wonderful sight to see – some beautiful pieces there.
Petal Fairy is coming along nicely. She’s one of my favorite Mirabilias-that-I-haven’t-bought-yet. :love:
