Pink and Mint

My book arrived just in time!! 

I have chosen to go with some 'oldie' fabrics
that I have held onto for quite sometime;
just waiting for the perfect project.
I think I've found it!!

The far right light pink will be my background.

I ordered some floss from an Etsy shop.
It is hand dyed and hand painted.

I think this green will look nice on the pink background.

I am not afraid of it bleeding;
I've hand dyed fabric using the same process.
She sure has has pretty colors.

I was up to the wee hours doing the handwork for GJ but I finished..photo soon....I did manage to get the outline of one Snowman and some letters stitched on the TTS.
Happy Stitching,
Mama Bear
