Working on the Spines
The wing spines are coming along, and I fill in the membrane as I go. I hope to get this third page done soon.
On to the Alphabet
Lots of backstitching still left on top, but time to start most of the cross stitches in the alphabet.

Bits of Grain
I swear this skirt will end. In the meantime, I am going slowly across. At least some wheat kernels are beginning to sprout.
Dragonfly Sashikoed
Sashiko, at least, seems to go fast. All the dragonflies are done and ready to be made into a pillow or a tote bag. I haven't decided which.
Still Starting the Little Building
This piece is so big that it never seems like I make progress until I get a large chunk of something done. This time it's a whole house that needs to marerialize.

Brno's Castle
We walked up the hillside to Spilberk Castle on a cold winter day in Brno. The castle has a great view of the surrounds, of course, and has a modern art museum inside - something that seems common in castles in central Europe. There was also a part about the history of the castle. And there were puppies and Christmas decorations.

Butterflied
Yet another butterfly done. I seem to have a thing for butterflies. This one's now done and ready to be framed, though.
Armadillo Shell
Adding to the armadillo. Did you know the Polish name for armadillo is 'panczerka'? It means little tank. I think it's apt and cute.

Adding Hearts
Almost done with the flag and started some hearts. Just need the finial and some more hearts - then time for the background.
