Ever since I started blogging I have picked up a very bad habit, well it is a bad habit for me and now drives me crazy, the absolute inability to resist starting too many projects at once, trust me, I never did this before, I only ever did one project at a time!
I do tend to be a bit of a control freak and hate the feeling of being out of control with all this stitching going on at once. My latest victim is a Mirabilia pattern called Royal Holiday or Christmas Queen as it is otherwise known, which I started in April 2012, I could not believe it was that long since I started this project!!! So I picked it up again the other day and I am loving stitching this as the colours are so vibrant. I am not too happy using the metallic thread, I always find it hard to make the stitches lie correctly on the fabric.
Before I proceed further I am going to complete the backstitching on her face and then do the beading in the top section, but thus far I think she looks pretty nice don’t you?

She is so pretty 🙂 I can relate to the metallic thread, I really dislike it and so many of these designs call for it too.
Can't wait to see more of her!
She looks so beautiful! I think she will really come to life with the backstitch on her face 🙂
Just stunning.
Very very beautiful!!!
Beautiful Christmas queen
I know what you mean about starting to many and I also buy way too much, darn blogging, lol
Happy stitching
Oh I know what you mean Lynn! I used to be the same! One project at a go – or at the most one large one and a little one to fill in the gaps when I get tired of the other 🙂
Your Christmas Queen is looking gorgeous!
Beautiful, beautiful…..
Gorgeous!!
She is beautiful! Her colors look amazing. Can't wait to see what she looks like finished.
I am not a fan of working with metallic thread either. The only thing I have found that saves my sanity is Thread Heaven. Keeps the threads from getting kinked up and knotting.
I have a problem starting too many projects as well. I took a vow that I wouldn't start any more until I finished one…and started another one the next week!
Happy stitching.
This stitching is absolutely beautiful. I love the color of the linen background – such a majestic looking project!
This is just gorgeous…the delicate, tiny stitches…my oh my! I so agree with you about the metallic threads…really, someone needs to invent a better product…c'mon DMC!

Espectacular bordado !!!!!!!!!! una maravilla, saludos.
A gorgeous design. I know metallic thread makes you spit feathers but when you have the overall effect … so worth the effort.
Oh she is so pretty already.
Looking lovely, just keep going.
She's lovely! You're doing a wonderful job!
Sooooo pretty.
This will be one gorgeous piece.

She is truly gorgeous! You are doing a beautiful job and love all the beadwork. I just had to stitch with metallic thread today and yes its a different thread to stitch with. But the results are so pretty:)
love Annette

Oh, isn't she stunning, Lynn!! Such wonderful detail in that design!
It's gorgeous! I have several unfinished projects…guess I'd better get with it!

Te está quedando precioso!!!!!!
Beautiful! I agree re blogging, I was a one at a time girl until I discovered blogs! Thread Heaven, short lengths and very slow stitching are my top tips for metallics but I hate it too!
She's beautiful
A Girl can never have to many projects (started)
Oh I think she is gorgeous! Don't stop!
So beautiful xxx
She is stunning Lynn. I use to be a one at a time stitcher. Now I have about 160 started. But, that's the fun part.

Very pretty Lynn and I am having the same problem about trying to not start too many projects but hey ho – it's al in the name of stitching fun. xx
Oh, Lynn – she is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I'm afraid I have the same problem as you – too many projects started…..my studio/craft room looks like (a) a bomb went off and (b) it's the home of a crazy craft woman. 😉 HOwever, I know where everything is and what goes with what. SHEESH.
hugs

She is stunning, beautiful stitching! I know metallic is a pain, but sooo worth it.
