This is the 3rd installment in the Holiday fairy series from Nora. This pattern is the Holiday Fairy. Inside the .rar file is two .pat files. One is the official Holiday fairy that uses Crescent Colour Flosses and Mill Hill Beads. It uses 11 colours. The Second is the .pat file of the fairy that was used in the design I made for my sister. It uses DMC stranded cotton, DMC light effects and Mill Hill Beads, it uses 21 colours. The border that was made for my sisters design can be found in the self design .pat section.

No problem, its hard to get the speciality varigated flosses here in Australia so when i decided to make the pattern for my sister I wanted to make it look good in the DMC colours that I could get easily so i decided to make it up in metallics and all that, turned out really good.
wow phoenixdark, Im blown away to find that you are sharing your reworking, as I was reading your finished thread a little while ago. Its so generous of you, thank you very much!
lol, its no problem! Its hard to get the flosses to do the original here in Australia, I have to order them in from overseas. Dmc is so much easier to get, and i think the finished producted turned out not to bad...it took a lot of counting out though as I made the patern from a picture subsituting the colours that kinda matched, rather than playing with the original pattern
Phoenixdark, Im from Oz too & I know EXACTLY what you mean about the difficulties of getting supplies - I had a terrible problem trying to find a coloured plastic canvas for a cross stitch pattern I wanted, ended up totally exasperated. (even Spotlight is reducing their range of stock :dizzy:)
I tried substituting colours on a project once, the result was appalling, so Im marveling at the awesome job YOU did, its truly sensational AND the fact that youre sharing it with us, too! Thats just so cool! Im heaps amazed!
All Spotlight seems to be doing is reducing their stock! my local one got rid of all the kenirik threads! it was like a disasterous! and then they put up the price of the mill hill beads! all in like the space of like 2 weeks...i was like wat the
Im at the point where I have my own conversion list for threads like crescent colours and all that. I also buy stuff in bulk from the craft shows...spotlights material is just crappy!
