… to myself. And here it is. Looks pretty cool, doesn’t it? It’s Bernadette Lusk’s Serenity Fairy from Heaven and Earth Designs; the chart I was practically singing about in my previous post from ages ago. Two weeks ago, I found some fabric that I had page gridded for another project. It’s perfect for this chart. The same number of pages in width and there’s more than enough height to accommodate it too. I adore the colors and watching the Klimt-like background appear. This chart, for lack of a better word, ROCKS! So what’s with the subject of my post? Today, while being a ballet mom, I recalled just what I had originally gridded this fabric for. It wasn’t for a HAED chart. It was for a Character Creations chart and Kerry’s pages are a wee bit smaller than Michele and Bob’s. (Ok, quite a bit smaller.) I came in the door, rushed to my stand, popped the fabric out of my hoop, laid it out flat on the floor, fended off the cats and measured. Then I looked at the chart again. I measured again. I cried. I have never made this mistake before.

So now I have to decide if I want to stitch this. I think I’ll stay away from it for a while and spend some quality time with the xbox and my DS for a bit. *whimperwhinesob*

The princess of the house has/is (hard to know exactly when as she’s a shelter baby) turning three this month. One look at this picture and you can see why she’s the princess, empress, resident goddess, supreme being, one-to-be-reckoned-with and lady in charge!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Nikki!

Happy 10th Birthday to you too, Fluffernutter, you scared ball of fluff!

    Oh what a bummer! I so feel for you! :-(

    It’s a smidge over 5 inches too small. That would mess with my type-A nature on her being centered (I can hear you guys snickering! *grins*) and I’d lose way too much of the background I adore.

    I went by the pages gridded rather than measuring the whole piece of fabric and that is what got me into this mess. Lesson learned the hard way. :(

    Oh man, that sucks! I second what Fudgey says – can it be saved?
    Great start any way.
    And too cute that pic of Nikki. Thanks for sharing.

    so…
    how much out is it??
    like can we do some chart trimming and it still fit or are we talking 7-8 inches too small…
    looking at the chart we can trim so a few inches off without losing the main ficus of the chart…

    it loooks so pretty what you have done, and youhave done heaps too in the few weeks youhave been on her
