Early Birthday Presents!

My birthday is a month away, but I got my presents early...

Two books and the last Mirabilia Holiday Fairy!



Cross Stitch Wit & Wisdom is filled with cute and clever projects. Well, not all cute. Some are beautiful, like the Chinese proverbs and Eastern promises. Oriental Cross Stitch is a very beautiful book. Lesley Teare is definitely my favorite designer. It will be a while before I can do anything from this book, though.

I've chosen a project from Wit & Wisdom already:



It will be my sister's birthday card!

The Thanksgiving Fairy is next in my to-stitch pile after the Halloween Fairy. I should have both done by September.
