I love this design!

This one I came across on Loreta's blog. She's stitching it herself and I think it looks angelic and very pretty. I've really fallen in love with it and I will definitely have to get it on a future stash order. It's a Mirabilia design called Ring Around The Rose Tree. It was released in 2004, so it's not a new one. I love the colours and the happiness it brings.

Mirabilia - Ring Around The Rose Tree

I usually shy away from designs with a lot of shading in them. I haven't attempted to do another one since I stitched a Stoney Creek design called Sally's Friend back in my early days of stitching. This one took me years to complete! Some of the colour differences are so slight that you end up going crossed-eyed trying to tell them apart.

This one, like most of Mirabilia's patterns, has shading which makes me hesitant. I have two of their charts in my stash (Garden Verses and Rose Celebration) and as yet haven't attempted to do them for this very reason. This one though I would like to stitch in the future.
