February finished

Seam treatments.

This seam is two cross stitches with beads and smaller cross stitches in the middle ,a few snowflakes in February .               

Now to start embellishing

Found this pretty trim and have sewn it down with chain stitch , some pink ribbon leaves sewn down with no 12 perle cotton.

This piece of lace is very old ,I have beaded the edge and chain stitched around the three dimensional flowers and the leaves. I've also put a bit of organza over the fairies wings. Now to look and consider the next step.

Februarys block

Completed block

I have finished working on this block for now .I will be looking at it again later against the other ones I do. Februarys block is assembled and ready to work on .

Detail on fairy.

The fairy got a lace skirt three layers,her hair was done with bullions,her wings were covered with organza and the green ties ser six strands of floss.

Monday morning.

I don't have a computer that does that fancy writing so I wrote with a "Le Pen" January brings the snow,makes our feet and fingers glow.I added some mittens I've had for years 

And a snowflake on the one side and on the other, a pin that has a Red Cardinal done on silk screen which I found in a second hand store a while back and I love him I think he found the perfect home and a button from hobby lobby maybe add some more bits but it needs to sit a while and see.
