6 Days of Stitching Paper Ladies...I need a COFFEE! ( she is done)

Yes I poured myself a very large cup of coffee this morning... and although this is the very same cup I am sipping from , this photo was taken last summer in our garden...
I know spring and summer will be here for we know it.... I am an OPTIMIST!

I completed my January Paper Ladies, late last evening.. I could not be happier....she came out perfectly... just as I imagined her...
What is nice with this PAPER LADIES pattern is even though you choose applique, embroider or cross stitch, no 2 ladies will ever be the same.... Using your floss to colour and materials on hands helps you to create a ONE OF A KIND....
( all the threads I used Presencia with DMC conversion will be included in the pattern)

I was so stuck on the pleats of her skirt, I dry brushed her for this effect.. AS CORI and I both believe there are NO RULES....
It is nice to go Rogue...and that we both did....
I had some crystal buttons Shellys Buttons and More that were the perfect addition...

Add my vintage Kettle phone, we have a couple of them... I really like the rings of them too... Now my January looks even more VINTAGE....
I have all of my FEBRUARY tools and pattern ready... So I am going to start my February Paper Ladies..
Cori did her January lady in Applique along the same colours as I did them in the blues .... and she redid her eyes using my tutorial on the eyes...what a difference.. both are beautiful.....
As soon as she has her January applique photo ready...I will let you know... I know she was finishing hers yesterday too..



Here is a sneak peak of FEBRUARy Paper ladies...
Pattern will be available next week..
I am doing her in Raspberry colours..

Before I start her I may need another cup of coffee...
