I am going to try and make myself give weekly updates on my stitching. This week I worked on Faery Tales. This was a bad stitching week. I was so tired that I was only ale to put in 500 stitches. Hopefully this week will be a better stitching week.
So I got the bright idea that I would use the grid in my EC Planner for motivation to work on Faery tales. I thought every time I finished a 10 x 10 grid I would color in the square so I could see how much progress I was making. The joke was on me....after doing the math (math teacher here) I realized I have so many blocks left, it would take up 1.5 pages of my planner!!!! I may still do it....It would be nice to color in a grid to show progress....
New Stash!!!!
I have to stay off my Facebook stash sell groups!!! They are really hurting my wallet!! Here is what I have ordered in the past 2 months:
I have become obsessed with Mirabilia designs! I have just decided I need to collect them! If you look at the top of my blog I have even made a wishlist of all the ones I want!!!!
Summer and Spring Queens
Christmas Elegance and Rose Arbor
Christmas in London
I just LOVE this one!!!!

Nice update and stash. You could leave the ornaments circular and still have them in a vertical orientation, maybe stitch a circle around them in a colour that works for all of them so they appear more finished? Sort of like a frame.
Like your new stash and the update. 500 stitches on one piece would be a lot for me! I do like the grid idea, especially since I am at the beginning of a large HAED design.
Nice progress on Faery Tales Vickie. I love your new stash. Those are way to much for me. I just like making little x's. The ornaments would look great either way.

It would be interesting, but I think rather difficult to adjust additional stitches around the edges to form a square, but if anyone could do it, you could!
I have one Mirabilia myself, but I am TERRIFIED to stitch it! all that beading...ugh!
Ah ha! Lots of stashing!! I saw on the FB groups you were "Me Please"-ing several Miras. LOL
Why not color a square? It's only 1 1/2 pages? I say go for it.
I think that's a great idea for the ornaments :). You could do a square border with a cool geometric pattern in between (as a math teacher it'd be fun ;)). Great designs and progress :)
Love the stitching, I've a couple of Mirabilia and L&L projects in my stash but seem to be drawn to stitching on my HAEDs most of the time. They'll be there waiting for me when I want something a little less intensive.
