Lots of Argyle

To me this is looking like the pattern on an argyle sweater. I assume that will change once I get more stitched.

 

Two Full Flowers

Progressing along - one more flower, the largest, done. One more to go.

 

Backstitching Made the Piece

Until I did the backstitching, this looked like a bunch of blobs. Now it looks like a street. And it's  done. Yay!

 

All the Scrolls and Branches

Scrolls and branches and wings done. Even little feet. Now to make this into an ornament.
 

Still on the Top Post

This is one of those pieces I take with me when I think I might have time to stitch. I usually don't have the time, but at least I'm prepared. And sometimes I -do- have the time. Which is why this piece is progressing.

 

Mostly Treed and Done

Some ribbons, some branches, and this can be called done.

 

Tailfeathers Again

The tailfeathers in the middle are showing brighter again as they get longer.

 

Spreading the Wing

The wing has spines. Now to fill them all in.

 

HIJK

Four more letters almost done, and beginning the vines down the sides.

 

Messy Legs

The blue frog's legs look so messy at this point in my stitching. They look all tangled up.

 

Shuttering and Stuttering Along

Added some shutter outlines this time. My stitching has been so slow this whole year Andreas has been gone. He comes home in just over a month. Yay!

 

Little Birdling

The blue jay looks like a blue jay now and just needs a little bit more to be done.

 

Second Flowered

Two flowers done - this is progressing quickly now. Only one more flower and then a couple of leaves and it's done.

 

Most Stitches Done

Stitches on the upper half are done and most of the bottom, too. But it still doesn't look like much. Back stitching will make a huge difference in this little piece.
 

Top of the Cross

I've had this kit for about 30 years, and it's about time I worked it. So here it is. 

 

Trumpeting the Pine?

My little Angel of the Pines already has her trumpet done. She should be a quick stitch.

 

Getting More Green and Black

Put in some more leaves this time and a bit of chest. Starting on the arms soon.

 

Color of the Day - Beige

Getting more tree branch done with a shot of beige.

 

Owled

The owl is owled and ready to be made into something. Not sure what yet.

 

DEFG

Working on the alphabet and doing all the special stitches around it. I think this will be pretty when finished, even though the alphabet fades into the background.
