A Scrapbook of Sorts

FINALLY FINISHED !!!

I’ve been at this since like September. Originally the plan was to do five panels but by the time I reached three I realized it was absolutely going to be too heavy. If the back bothers me then I’ll just buy some black fabric and sew it on.

I pinned it excessively since I have been warned the feathers won’t flatten unless blocked aggressively. They still don’t behave themselves 100% but again, if it bothers me I’m willing to steam block it in the future. Super fun before and after pics.

Pattern is of course the feathered wings shawl by my favorite pattern designer craftyintentions.

I hear you - I do and I need you to hear me when I say I have a 5 year old warlock haunting my home who is foaming at the mouth for birthdays

My wedding anniversary? Our family's birthday

Pride? Gay People's Birthday

Independence Day? America's Birthday

World Cup? That's soccer's birthday

Description

Love's Messenger is an 1885 watercolor by Marie Spartali Stillman in which a dove has just carried a love letter to a woman standing in front of an open window. She wears a red rose, and has just put down her embroidery of a blind-folded Cupid.

I just adore this character presentations! Really loved it on True Hearts Day and I’m happy they came back for Chapter 4.

The old ones are the best for me! The artworks and colors are so cute!

Wish the characters introduced on Chapter 2 and 3 had their one too, and also the characters who existed by the time of THD but did’t get it. If I’m not wrong, these are they:

Blondie, Cerise, Lizzie, Kitty, Humphrey, Holly, Poppy.
