Flip Flop started

I have started a new stitching WIP, and I am so excited to have tried some of the evenweave that I purchased! I was struggling to work on the linen, and while I hate to waste anything I spent money on, it was killing me to work on the Jordan Fairy. So, I pulled out the fabric I have and did what is called a Floss Toss on a few of the pieces that I thought would look best for this pattern:

Since I am far from brave or creative, I went with the Queen Anne's Lace in 32 ct Jobelan.  I got started on this project and realized just how easy evenweave is to stitch on! It's just like working on Aida, but the picture turns out more fluid rather than boxy.  I love it!!

Despite this horrible cold that Ken and I are sharing right now, I think this simple pattern will go quickly, and then I'm going to re-start the Jordan Fairy on a piece of evenweave.  I have just ordered 9 new pieces to go with my stash, so I hope that I will have the perfect piece to use for each of the fairies.


Right now, I have heard from Stephanie Bishop who has just started a new business, and these are the pictures she sent of the fabric she just dyed for me.  Oooohhhhh, can't wait! They are both in 28 ct Lugana.

I am very excited to get these!! And, although it cost me a pretty penny, I also ordered from Polstitches in England.  They have just shipped my order, and now I anxiously await the Royal Post to deliver to my USPS.
