Tax-wee-Fun

So much for that TV ad screaming "Get your Billions back, America!" What trickled down to me wasn't even a nano percent of it, lol. Yet one must appreciate a tax refund no matter how small. And enjoy it I did... (the first installment was the fabric purchase from my last post). Of course, some amount also found its way to the bank... somehow I still deem myself financially responsible, right DH? harhar.
Got myself a Mirabilia pattern, threads and beads, plus some button embellishments intended for scrapbooking and magazine country charts. I was not expecting the order to arrive this early, now I really must try harder to resist the temptation to start:(
I already planned to stitch her on aida cloth. I have not stitched on Linen before and I'm afraid to ruin this pretty young thing. 
 I think she's a beauty (Petal Fairy), and if I'm successful with her I might get Bliss Fairy too (fingers crossed;)
Thanks for visiting. Happy Stitching!

    NO matter how big your tax refund is - your new purchase is always worth it, lol. Wonderful, wonderful new design.

    Congratulations on your rebate! Can't be bad if it means more stashing.
    Petal Fairy is gorgeous with those bright colours. Why don't you try stitching her on evenweave? It's easier to use than linen as all the threads are evenly spaced and it would really set off this delicate design. I would practice on a scrap first and see how you get on.

    Yay! What great stash. Once you get the hang of stitching on the linen you will enjoy it. :)

    Congratulations on your rebate and stash enhancement! Petal is lovely. If you want to try something other than aida I would recommend an evenweave rather than linen for a first attempt. Actually, I wouldn't use linen for a Mira or Nora design anyway, it's too uneven and the slubs are always in the wrong place! Who wants a lumpy face?
