Tamales!
I made tamales for Christmas. They were spread around five or six families and the Marines. Everyone enjoyed.

Midwinter Robin by The Crewel Work Company - Work From Home #1 2021
This was my first start on the first day of 2021. I picked something drab-ish in the hopes that the year itself isn't.

Little Dragon Started
There's a little dragon started in the middle this time. Along with a little fishie for it to catch.

Stitched Modern Stash
One of my last purchases for quite a while. I love this little kit. But I have way too much stuff! Too many projects! So I'm not even buying to replace this year. Totally stitching from stash.

Stitchybox Spring Box
I finally opened this box. Took a while. I've been busy! Charts are blah, but there was a lot of fabric and thread.

Frogged A Frog
I had to frog the green frog's arm because it was completely pushed over by one stitch. More progress anyway.
Florin Done
Florin's done. I probably should have chosen a different background fabric, but it still looks pretty good.
Dirty Feet
Our yard is alternating between snow covered and mud. Don't even need to go outside to see if it's above freezing. All you have to do is look at Carol's paws. When they're filthy, it's above freezing. Tired of having mud for a yard.

Romanian Fabric
I am going to make an ia. Or two. And these are the fabrics I ordered from Semne Cusute to get started. They came all the way from Romania via DHL, and only took three weeks. Not bad.

Atelier 196 Advent
The Atelier 196 advent calendars are always good, but they arrive so late! These three arrived in the same box - on December 20th. Also, the note enclosed is cute.
On To Side Two
Working on the second big middle knot now. This is coming along pretty well when I actually work on it.
Yellow Leg
That yellow leg underneath the green turns out to belong to the first frog. So technically, he's not done. Will be done soon, though.
Three On The Bed
A rarity - all three puppies on our bed at the same time. If they're going to do this, they do it on Leonora's bed. Aren't they sweet? And Carol and Chad are acting like siblings who like each other.

Good For Green
This is the second color version of this ornament I've made. I like the green. Another one is in the works. In the meantime, this one's a keeper.
Half A Florin
Another stitch maynia small getting its time in the spotlight. I've gotten several of them done, and now it's this one's turn. Of course, all the colors are changed up.
Chad Scramble
This is how Chad tried to retrieve something he dropped. Successful retrieval, but unsuccessful at staying on the bed. He does have a cute corgi butt, though.

Squared
These little needlepoint pieces are easy to finish into ornaments, so I've been doing several. This one I like a lot.
