This past weekend was absolutely perfect, weatherwise, so I spent almost every minute of it out in the garden. That means, with the exception of today, I’ve got nothing but garden posts for you this week.
I didn’t get in the sewing studio. I didn’t knit a stitch. I didn’t paint anything. However, once it got too dark to be in the garden, I did come in and stitch.

As a result, I got a good amount of work done, stitching out the ribbons that curl and loop gracefully from the the back of the fairy. I’m really pleased with how well the purples work with the rest of the colours.
I am however, going to rip out that one small section of light purple on the bottom left part of the ribbon end.

The shade I chose is much too pale and doesn’t flow well with the other shades. Happily, I discovered it before I’d filled in too much of that colour!
Progress! This is coming along nicely.

Did you notice that at least one of your garden fairies matches your stiching fairy? At least it does to me, and I love it!

I love all of your fairies, in the garden and here in the stitching hoop. I’ve always loved fairies. You chose beautiful colors, I even like the light purple. We’re driving down I-90 in S. Dakota right now, heading home. We’ll miss being with Piper every day but it’s time for all of her other summer activities. She’s one busy girl.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy

I hope it isn’t too difficult to rip our and re-do those stitches!
