Lady Mirabilia is done!

I stuck with her through that "hard to push through" phase and now she is done and I couldn't love her more (well, until I get her framed)!

I really love the symmetry that this one has with the first Mirabilia I ever stitched, Villa Mirabilia. They both feature elegant ladies, arched borders, banners at the bottom and even have Mirabilia in the name:

I finished Villa around 22 years ago (before I kept track of things like finishes!), and I still get as much joy stitching Nora's gorgeous designs as I did then; pretty amazing, as I generally get tired of things after a period of time.

The butterfly charm used in Lady Mirabilia is silver and apparently might tarnish over time, so I need to seal it with something before I attach it. I've ordered a metal protector, so I will take it in for framing once that is completed.

Speaking of framing, I got Nora Corbett's Miss Solar Ellipse back and I absolutely love her, as she's so bright and cheerful:

I'm planning on getting back to my barely-started Rosewood Manor model this week, but I took the weekend to work on my neglected Spook Town Square by Glendon Place. I was hoping to be able to finish the hardware store, but couldn't quite make it:

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
