Happy first day of March! It is an absolutely beautiful day here in South Texas. A pretty (but cloudy) 80 degrees! Windows are open and fresh air in coming in! I have had very little time for stitching the last few days but I do have some progress to show! First, Persephone.
I'm very close to being completely done with my color conversion and I will publish it here as soon as I get it all figured out.
And here is Deep Blue Sea:
All I have left on Part one is backstitching so I am doing a little work on part three, more backstitching, then back to part three. I had to break it up a little!
Now that I've shown you what I'm working on, let me show you all of my new fabrics I've received recently. They are really wonderful! This first one is a Sparklie's Solitaire Opalescent linen in 32 count. I'm going to put Nora Corbett's Trick or Treat Fairy from the September 2008 issue of Cross-Stitch and Needlwork on this one.
This next one is a Silkweavers 28 ct opalescent called Mystical Seas and I absolutely love it! Can not wait to see Nora's next mermaid because she will probably go on this!
I'm leaning towards Mermaid of Atlantis for this one but I may change my mind. Thanks for reading and TTFN!

And this last piece was hand-dyed by my friend, Jenetta and I LOVE it. It is 28 ct jobelan.
