Happy Dance!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Last week I finished Melody by Nora Corbett. Happy dance time :) She turned out really cute, and I loved her bright pinks and oranges. I did make a few changes. I made her eyelashes thicker and darker (two strands of DMC 3371 instead one strand of the light brown used for the backstitching), and I used orange beads in the orange petals by the big green leaves. The pattern called for the petite gold ones used in her wings. I liked the bigger, more blingy orange beads :)

After I finished Melody, I was going to work on a Christmas ornament. Unfortunately, I could not find a big enough scrap of fabric in the color I wanted. So, I started working on Autumn Band Sampler by Little House Needleworks and placed an order to 123 Stitch for more fabric. I ordered 3 different colors, so it will be awhile before I run out again :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
