January 2022 Monthly Challenge 1: Hobby - CCross Stitch Fairies

Amongst my many hobbies is counted cross stitch.  This one is a 5 x 7" "Believe" design featuring fairies, the little green circles are actually shiny glass beads.  My own Fairy Garden inspired Jody's Darren to create one in her memory but he has had to move so he currently doesn't have a Fairy Garden.  So I made this for him and created the layout around a photo of the unframed design.  I can't believe Jody will be gone 5 years on the 15th, the 16th in Australia.  ?
Journaling reads:   "In memory of Jody 1/15-16 2017"
For this layout I used:
GWH Fairy Garden Collection
JZI Fantasia Collection
BMU SS Paper Templates BG Blenders 5
SNU SS Styles: Shadow Me
AFT SS Styles: Every Day Glitter
and my own photo and cross-stitch project

Love this layout and your memories of Jody and Darren. Can't believe how long it's been. Beautiful cluster and what a pretty piece of your cross stitch. I used to do a lot of cross stitch. Have an appointment to see if I'm ready for cataract surgery. Maybe I can take it up again.

This is very pretty. I knew your would like this fairy garden kit from Ginny! Your cross stitch is very sweet and I enjoyed reading the explanation above. Cross stitch is one of my hobbies as well, although I have been terrible at photographing completed projects.

So pretty.  My grandmom is good at cross stitch.  Still does it at 85.  My stiches were always wonky looking.  I took up knitting instead.  ?

This is so lovely... and so meaningful as well. Your cross-stitch is really pretty and I love the colors. I like your little fairy house and the glittery threads, too. The whole page is beautiful.

Marilyn I can't believe its 5 yrs since Judy passed away and this is just gorgeous :) Such a gorgeous cross stitch you have created. I used to do Cross stitch as well but haven't done much for a long time :)

OMG Marilyn It' so sad that Darren has to move but maybe good for him.  I cannot believe it has been so long since she passed. Such an amazing talent. Your page is so special and your counted cross stitch is so perfect for Jody. What  a special thing to do . Beautiful page.

This touched my heart in so many ways. The way you combined your love of garden fairies and Jody to honor her memory is so very special. You blended the photo of your cross stitch so perfectly, I thought it was a word art from one of the designers. Your use of Brandy's blender to create fairy lights, genius! Just beautiful.
