Mirabilia Sweet Pea & Model Stitching
This is Sweet Pea, stitched on another of Emma's Fabbies. She took around 5 days to stitch but the beading took me three days on top as I had a flare up over the weekend. She stitched using the recommended DMC and Caron Waterlilies floss with Kreinik and Mill Hill also. I did swap out one of the MH Magnifica beads for a colour similar to her skirt as the recommended ones looked awful to me. 
This is a copy of Manga in Cross Stitch by Helen McCarthy. I did some model stitching for this book last year (see below for the pics of my name and my work). Im not into Manga myself but know a few people that are, from what Ive seen this book is awesome as it combines the 2 hobbies. The charts are on a cd rom rather than in the book which is so different to normal XS books. If you can check this book out its worth it in my mind. Retails at most online book sites ie Amazon etc.
