Life's A Beach

This is one of the first counted cross-stitch designs I completed. I'm guessing on the completed date, because it was so long ago I really can't remember. But, it's very fun! I had it hanging just like this (not framed) in my dorm room in college, and now it's for sale on in my Etsy shop!

Stitched: 2 strands on 14 count white aida cloth

Seaside Kingdom

I bought the Mirabilia pattern for this one when I found out it was being discontinued. I had always thought it was fun and would be good in a kid's room. When I found out we were expecting our first baby, I started stitching it - it's hanging in his room right now!

Stitched: 2 strands over 2 threads on 32 count white linen
Completed: March 2007

Mother's Bliss

One of my absolute favorite Mirabilia designs! So elegant and simple.

Spring Queen

The second Mirabilia queen completed. Very lovely and fresh!

Autumn Queen

This is the first Mirabilia queen that I completed. It wasn't my favorite of the season queens, but it was the first one I had the pattern for. Once I started stitching her, I really loved it, though - so much prettier than I thought it would be from the little cover picture I had!

Midsummer Night's Fairy

This is the first Mirabilia pattern I completed, and it cemented my LOVE of this designer!
