1st WIPocalypse Update

Hey Everyone:

I'm back with my first WIPocalypse post of the year. One of the UFO's I brought out for this challenge was this one.

"Bring Coffee" Dolly Mama Design by Janlynn Designs.

I admit, the colors in this design are very unusual, but the saying is what attracted me to it in the first place. I am a coffee girl and Starbucks is my friend. :)

I guess when I stitched on her last, I must have been stitching with my eyes closed or something because I found some major mistakes that needed frogging. I somehow stitched her arm in the wrong color. Can you say blonde moment?!

Again..most interesting colors. Pink hair with orange streaks and a lime green dress with turquoise and purple circles. Talk about a fashion statement! I stitched on her for a couple hours tonight, but didn't get much progress done. I think I ripped out more that I stitched. Her necklace is supposed to have some french knots in it. I guess to look like she has pearls, but they looked so terrible I just did regular cross stitches instead.

One more thing to show before I go. I picked up my framed "J" Fairy from my LNS on Saturday and I just have to show you all how great she looks in her new frame.


I love it! The brown really accents the earth tone colors of the design.

Thanks for looking everyone. Nighty Night!
Jen
