Hello! Believe it or not, I have been stitching...in between the end of school year activites for the kids and reading all of your wonderful blogs! Here's what I've been working on. I made ballerina necklaces for my daughter, her cousin and their friend for the their ballet recitals this past week. I took the ballerinas from Country Cottage Needlework's "Little Ballerinas" pattern and personalized them with each of the girls eye color. I also changed the tight color to the pale pink since I stitched these on some white fabric I had laying around. I backed them with cute pink fabric with little stars on it and added the daisy "ribbon" so thay could be worn as necklaces. I think the girls love them - I told them to wear them, use them, play with, whatever. So far, I know all three have been worn to school. If you see this "vogue" next year, you saw it here first ;-)
The other piece I have been working on is "She Sell Sea Shells" (that is even hard to type!!!) by CCN. It is coming along slowly. Once I finish up the water it will move along much faster. Sorry the picture of my actual work is so dark - if you live in the North East like me you'll know the rainly weather we've been having of late. I have feeling we're going to go from a chilly, rainy Spring straight to a 90 degree Summer...but I'll take it!!!
That's it for me today. Hope you all are well and thanks for keeping me inspired by your work! See you next time. Meredith

Meredith, Those ballerinas are just magnificent! (Both the cross stitched ones and the real ones!)
