Texas Ornament


 One more ornament done. This one's not going anywhere.

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.

 

Reindeer 2020 by Aury TM Designs - Work From Home #48

This does NOT look at all like a dragon yet.

 

Heading Up


 The head is coming along, and the arm is finished.

Two Big Knots

Two big knots all done. Only two more to go.

 

Little Dragon Started

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

 

Christmas Stocking

Look what all Andreas put in my stocking! Awesome!

 

All Knotted Up

Yay, all the French knots are done! A very little left to do.

 

Stitchybox December Fabric

This looks to be a useful color. Now to start some more things so I can use it.

Lots Of White

Lots of white on this, and I changed the inner colors a bit. It's done!

 

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.


 

Moon Face

The moon's face is visible in outline now.

 

Third Line Complete

Third row done, and I think I'm doing okay at color balancing.

Scarfie

Andreas gave me this plush scarf in my tartan for Christmas. It's even cold enough to wear it.

 

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.
 

Almost A Dragon On The Left

The left side dragon, first one, is almost done.

 

Too Many French Knots

My hands were tired after all these French knots. Still more to go, too.
 

Unsure

Chad isn't sure he likes the new stairs.

All The Eyebrows

The purple eyebrows are ... interesting.

 

Sashiko Present

Andreas got me this sashiko beginner kit for Christmas. Now to get time to do it instead of unpacking moving.

 

Some Hair

The head is coming along, starting with the hair.
 

Muddy Grayson

Grayson played in the mud. He needed a bath afterwards.

Lace Flowers By Ink Circles - Work From Home #47

I have had this kit for three years, I think. Time  to start it!

 

Beginning The Fill

I am beginning to fill in the middle now that I know it'll all fit on the fabric.


 

Another Cover

I have covers for both my passports, but how could I pass up a stitchable one?



 

Grayson The Guardian

Just inside the gate at the new house, Grayson keeps watch in his own noble way.

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.

 

Left Side Dragon

Work this session was on  the left side dragon. I made quite a bit of progress on it.

 

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.
