Lots of fractionals. . .

Hi all!

I have been stitching on the delicate 'headpiece' that the Daffodil Fairy has in her hair . . .


I find it a really fiddly thing to stitch . There are so many fractionals and I have to use a magnifier to make out all the different colours on the chart .

 
After being at it for a couple of hours I had done these stitches in different greens and was forced to stop since I was getting tired from concentrating so hard when reading the chart . This fairy will be a real LABOUR of love , but if I can put in a couple of hours of work on it most days, I should be able to finish it this year . . .
 
I'm almost finished gridding the fabric for the Lavender Fairy, and I can't wait to begin stitching it!  
The kit has some lovely green and purple threads that I cannot wait to stich with . . . !
 
Happy Stitching everyone!
 
Annie

  5. Daffodils are my favorite, so I'm loving seeing your progress on this one. I know what you mean about fractionals and similar colors though. The project I worked on all weekend was full of both, and it does take a LOT of concentration!
