Now aren’t all good pixies supposed to have some special magical pixie dust? so magical that she can sprinkle it on and about on everything? ooh don’t I wish! this canvas that I had all stitched out in my mind, proved challenging in different ways than the other pixie did. I have already reconstructed the window and I am pleased with the way that it looks now.

Another brilliant idea that I had envisioned was to stitch the background stitch right over the white lines that makes you think that there is a canvas there. I wanted to come back over the top of that stitching and lay in the Kreinik as the canvas threads. But when I did go to lay in the threads, I would need to split the canvas threads in order to center it. So out that stitching came and I then restitched it as painted.

Another skirt challenge, and this was not as difficult as Dishwashing Pixie. I am thrilled with the way this skirt looks! Turkey Work stitched in Gloriana silk using the color of Ada’s Rainbow. I am not planning on cutting it, but rather leaving it in loops. All I have left to do is her hair and add her antenna with a fuchsia colored  Memory Thread that I think that cats have hidden, never ever to be found again! Ooh yes the stitching ribbon needs to be threaded through the needle and I will then check for missing stitches. Ooh shudder the thought! Just in case you just have to add these pixies canvases to your stitching stash, they are by Ruth Schmuff.

Robin, I hope you don’t mind…but I would like to honor Elliot, a dear cat of a dear friend who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge all too soon. I know that you will be missed…
