May I just say that I've come off the chain a wee bit and indulged some of my very pink stitchy fantasies with this one? I'd like to introduce The Spirit of Cinderella's Fairy God Mother. I went a little nuts...but I hope in a good way. She's so very Marie Antoinette mashed up with Mdm's. du Pompadour and Barry.
Here she is in full flight. lol
Wind in her feathers...
Safely back indoors.
She's the first of my Famous Fairies in the Spirit size. I hope to do a Tinkerbell and Blue Fairy in the future for this catagory. I should do a Tooth Fairy also...Maybe a Tatiana? But most of all, I've got to do a line of Spirit Princesses so I can design a Cinderella to go with this one. Oh, my...
This model was stitched on 14 count White & Metallic Silver perforated paper with DMC floss & Color Infusions Memory Threads, Kreinik's #8 Fine Braids, 1/8" Metallic Ribbons & Micro Ice Chenille, size 11 seed beads, small craft feathers for her hair and assorted ribbons and trims for her skirt.
Her finished dimensions are approximately 6" x 20". The length can vary depending how long you cut the ribbons.
I got the feathers and ribbons from my local Hobby Lobby & Michael's stores, by the by. Pink is one of my favorite colors so I also had a LOT of ribbons already in my stash that I used...So, by all means, use what you already have on hand for a project like this.
As far as the other stitching materials I highly recommend The Cottage Needle as a source. If you don't see what you want in her listings just ask Rachelle and she'll help you out. I can also recommend 123stitch as a good source.
The Fairy God Mother is available now as a chart pack, which includes perforated paper, beads, beading needle, charts, keys & instructions. No Chart-Only just now.
Thank you SO MUCH for taking a peek.
Happy Spring Stitching...
Your Fairy God Mother is awesomely beautiful!!

I apologize to anyone who's been trying to comment and couldn't. It seems that there's something wrong with Typepad's visual security test...I couldn't see the numbers or letters to type so I clicked on the audio symbol and did it that way. Hopefully, Typepad will fix this soon.

Oh my goodness!!!! This is absolutely gorgeous!!!1 I ordered it and cannot wait to start making it. I love the idea of the ribbons as the skirt. I hope you do many more like this one! thank you soooo much!

Just gorgeous. I think she would be a dream to stitch and have hanging in my home!

Brooke, this is beyond gorgeous!! I cannot WAIT to see the rest you do in this category. I have always loved the bigger ones you do in the Spirit size. So beautiful. Any princess or fairy you do will be stunning. So, get to designing! LOL. Would love to see a St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's, Easter spirit angel. No one hardly does anything St. Patrick related.

THANK YOU, Stitching Noni! And THANK YOU, Lynn...Yes, I'm planning to do more Spirit "dollies" with the ribbons for skirts. Have some Christmas angels and a Happy Halloween witchie in the works for that style...Among other fairies and princesses. Weeeee...

Ah, THANK YOU, Susan! She was really fun to design and stitch. And THANK YOU, Danielle! Yes...I wish there were 4 or 5 of me that could just continuously design and stitch. Then maybe I'd make a dent in my "To Do" list. LOL! Yes, I agree...Would love to design some Spirits and Stitch-a-Littles for other holidays. Especially St. Patrick's Day. I do have a Christmas Peace Angels collection in mind which would have Spirit Angels from all over the world in it and I definitely would have a very green Irish angel in that collection for sure. So, hopefully, an Irish angel will happen someday soon. Now, how do I clone myself?

You've outdone yourself with this one. I just love her and my favorite color is pink too! Plus I can't wait to see the others.

How fun!! I kept scrolling back and forth between the photos. All the little details and embellishments that you've added are just amazing!
I've started a weekly Stitchery Link Party and I would love to have you come link up and share this with my readers. http://www.supermomnocape.com/2015/04/13/vintage-embroidery-monday-stitchery-link-party/

I just fell in love with your Fairy Godmother! She is beautiful!
Is there any way to buy her chart only? I would like to stitch her but do not want to buy the whole package.
Thanks.
