The above little lady was made from a pattern by ChestnutJunction.com...she is one of the "Simple Gals" and was fun to make. I made a slight variation on her by not stuffing her limbs in their upper sections. Also, she was painted then slightly sanded. She has a nice soft feel. She has a dress that is waiting to be made, with some accessories to accompany her.
Update April, 2013: She wanted to go live with Lola from "Stitchin' by the River." I know she is happy there.
The above cross-stitch was done fifteen years ago. It was done on ivory laguna, 28 count, over two threads. The colors were muted but vibrant. I put it through an antiquing process and am very happy with the results.
Love it...you are soooo talented...it's about time you share it with the world...
