Time for the Peahen

This little peahen is about to get some love.

 

A Definite Hat

My nutcracker has his hat in place.

 

Cute Little Star

Little circles behind a star. I think this came out very pretty. It will be used in an exchange.

 

Make Stuff May #30: Nymphalidae Butterfly by Riolis

Little butterfly kit to be made. Most of the upper left side of the butterfly is stitched.

 

Little Hoop

Framed my little kogin stitch.

 

Framed and Gifted

 

A colleague saw me stitching this and admired it. So I gave it to her once I framed it. She loves it.

Joann Stash

Joann's had a sale on batik fabric, so I bought some.

 

Gift from Tracy

Tracy sent me this beautiful floss. I may just make the pattern on the card with it.

 

A Maze Framed

Little maze from Ink Circles ready to display.

 

Unusual Door

I like doors. This one is from Malbork's courtyard. It has such an interesting set of iron banding on it.

 

Another Week, Another Petal

One more petal done, three more to go. Maybe this will look like progress soon.

 

Branching Out the Green

Lots of little green dots here, and lots of specialty stitches to fill in on this morning glory design.

 

Back to Square Three

Third time finishing out a square, and the last. Now it's all jagged edges. It's rather bright, isn't it?

 

Red Stripe Almost Done

Going through the most compensatory part of the red strip, and it's almost done. Looking good so far.

 

Perfect Hot Cross Buns

On her first attempt, Leonora absolutely nailed hot cross buns. They were wonderful, and look great too.

 

Notebooks from Leonora

Leonora knows one of my weaknesses is notebooks. Thank you, Leonora! I'm already using the planner.

 

Gift from Granit

Granit came to visit for a few weeks and he brought chocolates.

 

Malbork Courtyard

Yes, the courtyard is as big as it looks. The building at the far end even has yet another courtyard. From what I understand, Malbork is the largest castle complex ever built.

 

Make Stuff May #21: Land of the Free by Mill Hill

Another Mill Hill full coverage start. These take so long despite their size! But this one is well and truly started. Since it's patriotic, it will probably be done sooner rather than later.

 

Little Bits of Sparkly Grain

I know I'm reaching the bottom of the skirt because I added my first wheat grains on the left. Yay, progress!

 

Working on the Knot

Added this into my rotation, as I figure it may take a while but it'll be easy.  Time to get all the outlines done so I can work on the fill.

 

Lots of Basketweave

Now is the boring part - lots and lots of basketweave background. But it's closer to being done!

 

Needlebook Thanks

Betsy made this cute needlebook for me. I'm already using it. Thank you!

 

Gaming Table

One of Andreas' D&D additions - a table to put over the regular table to get more room to put stuff.

 

Flowers from Leonora

Leonora got me this beautiful kalanchoe plant. It sits on the patio table so I can see it every time I let the puppies in or out. It's doing well even in the heat.
