I live in a space with lots of funny angles and slopped ceilings which means that I don't have a ton of tall wall space. It makes decorating a little difficult since in some places standard frames don't fit so well or the shadows/light is really bad so what I want to put up doesn't get the view it deserves. One of these such spaces is where I hung my latest finish.
I have always been a fan of Dame Edna and when I saw this pattern by Serious Floss I just had to have it! Sometimes buying my patterns online makes me nervous (I've gotten a few duds) but I was willing to risk it on this one. I modified the colors just a little bit to match my existing paint job and used some seed beads that I had on hand instead of the metallic thread and I just love it!
See what I mean about an odd little spot! Its actually right in my sight line when I wake up in the morning so it is almost always the very first thing see so it makes for a great start to the day.
Here she is up close and personal, I used some silver gray ribbon to dress up my hoop.
There are so many great patterns out there now that are fun, modern and very wallet friendly and I have found some new designers (well new to me) lately and am very excited for my next couple of projects.
I'm on a little bit of a roll at the moment so I hope to have more to show you soon.
Until then, thanks for stopping by and happy stitching!
