Mirabilia Little Stitches - Crescent Dreams

Sadly my only Mirabilia finish for 2013, this is my WIP and finish of Mirabilia - Crescent Dreams (LS4). This was stitched for a friend of mine who recently gave birth to a cute little boy on Christmas Eve 2013. Its still needs the baby's details and name to be attached underneath the stitching but I keep on forgetting to pick up a nice tag at Spotlight!

This was stitched on Silkweavers Hand Dyed Solo 28ct Cashel Linen. I absolutely love the dye job of this fabric which has a lovely satin sheen when view in person. Its a mix of brillant white, light blues, pinks and purples! As I didn't use all of it, I still have half a piece floating about which I'm pleased to have for another project.

My Mirabilia Collection 2014

I decided to take some snaps of my Mirabilia/Nora Corbett collection at the start of 2014. I'm pretty proud of my stash so far considering I started collecting in September 2013! I also have Seaside Kingdom on the way which I super excited to have gotten a hold of since its HTF and OOP :)







I've purchased sealable plastic bags to put each pattern in so it wont be damaged. A precaution when you have a toddler with a drink bottle ;)

I also have to admit I've ordered Nora's 2007 Christmas Tree with the doves in it, Faerie Winter Dream and Ophelia's Pearl
