New Goldwork Book

Beautiful book by Alison Cole. Now to find time to do some of the pieces.

 

Earrings from Krakow

Both enameled and fused glass earrings from Krakow. I like them.

 

Boxes from Zenpop

One subscription box and one special box from Zenpop. Keeping me writing along.

 

Shells

The shell pattern on the table is coming along, and the beeskep has legs. Progress.

 

One Darker

The back wing is definitely darker than the front. They both stand out well on this fabric, at least.

 

Much Orange to Go

His face looks precious, but now it's time to work on his body. Lots of orange to go for his back, but at least it's started.

 

Still Branching

I am -so close- to the peacock's tail again, but still have a bit of branch fill to go.

 

Bits of Bayeux

Saw the tapestry again in October on a wet and chilly day. We visited the cathedral and walked a little bit downtown.

 

Dinner in Sopot

 

Family meal at a craft brewery in Sopot. Food was good and Andreas's dad enjoyed the beer flight. I had a tasty raspberry cocktail, too.

Went to France. Got a Box

My little cow box from Normandy.

 

Snacks from Michelle

Great swap from Michelle in the US. I got my favorite Martha White and some dill pickle chips. Thank you so much.

 

Shuriken Framed

I think this came out pretty well, over all.

 

Making the Big Diamond

Time to square this up and finish.

 

Butterfly Done

My butterfly has sprouted its wings and become a pretty cross stitch.

 

Little Ridgy

Not sure if it's back or wing at this point, but I've added some dragon ridges to the piece.

 

Adding Grain

I have to be getting close to the bottom of the skirt. I'm beginning to add some grain from the bottom banner.

 

New Shirt

To wear to support Ukraine.

 

Pretty Chocolate

 

A welcome gift from the Sheraton Grand in Krakow from a recent Andreas trip.

Multiple Sewscriptions

Catching up on the subscription box postings. I am getting kind of tired of the blue/orange color scheme they use so much in this subscription box. I do have to start sewing again soon. Once I unearth my sewing station from all the stuff that's on top of it from people "cleaning" the dining room.

 

Scissors

Leonora found these stork scissors at Flying Tiger. Aren't they cute? I'll be using them.

 

One Loop Done

--and a good start on the other main loop. The end is near.

 

Meadowed

This ended up being a bigger project than I thought it would be, but it's done now. Yay!

 

Zigging Away

I got to work some on this when I took it with on a trip. It -will- get into the rotation soon because I want to stitch it.

 

Worried Blue Frog

The blue frog in the middle bottom looks a bit concerned at the moment, but he's getting stitched.

 

Little Red Ornament Finished

It was supposed to be a biscornu, but I decided it's an ornament.

 

Wild Rain

Ring photos of the heavy rain we had a few weeks ago.

 

Gift from Andreas

I believe he thinks I am not going to be busy enough while he's in Ukraine. It's a pretty pattern and I will try to complete it while he's gone. Thank you dear.

 

Fancy a Flamingo?

This will make a cute pillow when I finish finish it.

 

One, One Dragonfly!

Three more and a bunch of celtic knots to go.

 

Restart Time

Started on the wrong corner AND with the wrong thread, so now have it oriented correctly on the fabric. Will rip out the old eventually.
