Mermaid with Elisabeth Bennet

I brought a new free cross stitch design today for you (downloadable pattern is coming soon).

It seems I had a lesson to learn, because I am committing one disaster after the other with my finishings. (I must visit Professor Snape to cast a spell for me)   This poor lady was nicely framed in April, it took over an hour to choose the right frame (it was a nice shabby white one) and a dark green border.

In May I fall in love with Jill Rensel's idea of decorating the framed stiched items in the USA.  I thought my mermaid would love to have a painted extra, decent sea weed and bubbles and fishes.  Oh, yeah... don't ask.  The result looked so awful, I cut out my stitching, throw it under our bed and left it for good.

She is still looking for her frame.  This one you see on these pictures is not her permament home, only a shelter for the last weeks of summer.   She is swimming to far away shores soon as the cold season is coming and giving her place here to  my autumn designs, croaking crows, pumpkins and loud witches.

Please, welcome her, my Little Mermaid!

IN HUNGARIAN:
Egy újabb kereszthímzéses mintát hoztam nektek ma (a szabadon letölthető minta is érkezik hamarosan).
Úgy érzem, van egy lecke, amelyet meg kell tanulnom, mert egymás után rontom el a hímzések "finishingjét". (Meg kell látogatnom Piton professzort egy varázslatért.)  Ezt a szegény hölgyet szépen bekereteztettem áprilisban, több mint egy órán keresztül bogarásztuk a megfelelő keretet (egy szép, shabbys fehéret) és egy sötétzöld paszpartut. 

Májusban beleszerelmesedtem az amerikai Jill Rensel módszerébe, amellyel a bekeretezett hímzéseket dekorálja.   Úgy gondoltam, a hableányom rettentően örülne néhány odafestett finom tengeri hínárnak, buboréknak és halacskának.  Ó, persze... ne is kérdezzétek.  Az eredmény annyira borzalmas lett, hogy kivágtam a hímzésemet a keretből, bedobtam az ágy alá és átadtam az enyészetnek.

A hableány még mindig keresi az ő keretét, az igazit.  Ez, amelyben látjátok a képeken, nem a végleges otthona, csak egy hajlék a nyár utolsó heteire.  Nemsokára messzi vizekre úszik, mert érkezik a hideg évszak, hogy átadja a helyét nálam az őszi mintáknak, a károgó varjaknak, tököknek és rikácsoló bosziknak. 

Kérlek, fogadjátok szeretettel a Kis Hableányomat!:-)

Mr Darcy is rákezdett panaszkodni a fiókomban, hogy meglehetősen magányosan érzi magát, ezért elkezdtem neki megfesteni Elizáját, még nincs kész, a festés folyamatban, de azért a vázlatfüzetemet megmutatom.

  9. She's just adorable! Love how you chose to experiment with embellished framing. Doesn't matter if the results weren't perfect, that's what experimentation is all about. Sometimes you end up with something marvelous and unexpected too!

  21. Nagyon szépek a munkák. Szeretném megkérdezni, hogy mi módon sikerült a kis hableány kereszteszemes alapvásznának olyan szép márványos kékes-zöldes színt adni, vagy esetleg vásároltad valahol?
    Szép napot!
