I am slowly working my way through these free cherubs from Mirabilia. I have done two more which I gave to friends and don't have picture of. They are all stitched on sparkle aida. Find them here:
Mirabilia - Sleeping Beauty. Stitched in 2006 on blue evenweave
Lavendar & Lace - Angelica, stitched on 28 count evenweave 2 over 2 except her face and hands which are 1 over 1. They took all of one Easter weekend! The dark lines are reflections of our ceiling beams not part of the pattern. Stitched in 2000
Lavendar & Lace Celtic Christmas as a bride. I recharted this myself changing the candles to a tumble of roses (using the Sleeping Beauty ones as a guide). The border co-ordinated with the bridesmaids' dresses.
L&L Angel 2000 - I stitched this one using a beautiful hand dyed silk. It took FOREVER!
Teresa Wentzler - The Castle. A rite of passage for many stitchers! This was my first large piece, it took about 6 months and I loved it. It is currently in the small boy's bedroom.

These two are in the large boy's bedroom. Here is a closeup of the Dragon Rider over 1 (rather blurry, will have to rephoto)
