So Very Close

I'm still working on this, but it's -so-close to being done.  Next picture should be of it all done!

Plugging In

Working on the last bits of the mandala, yay.  Still got a lot to go, but it's definitely going to be done on time.  I have -all- the rest of the chart.  Now to get this done so I can catch up on the German Group Mystery, which I only have until the middle of September to complete.

Not Quite

I am so close to finishing off this part - I just need to complete the last square.  Then I get more squares!  At most, I have ten more parts to go.  I'll definitely get it done in time.

Couple More Squares

I've got a couple more squares done on this set.  This set goes all the way to part 51 of 60, so I'm almost there, I'm almost there, I'm almost there...

Last Stretch of this Set

I'm getting close to finishing this set of seven more parts on the mandala.  Definitely making progress on the whole thing.

Three Quarters

A few more squares.  I'm closing in on finishing this set.  Looking at it in a whole picture, which I don't tend to do when stitching, I see I'm almost 3/4 done.  Maybe I really will finish it in time.

More Mandala

Still progressing on the mandala.  I'm almost done with this set of squares - one full one started and then a partial one at the bottom.

Some More Squares

I'm still plugging away at this.  More squares and more squares...

Still More Pattern

I am now down to the wire on this.  I have three months to finish all the rest of the pattern, so I'll be working on it daily.  At least I'm about halfway done.  Some people are even farther behind.

Parts Finally Done

Yay, I finally finished all the squares of this series in my kaleidoscope mandala!  I need to catch up on a couple other things before I continue it, though.

Kaleiding Away

There were four solid squares and several periphery pieces here for the part I'm working on now.  I still haven't finished it, after over a week of working on it every day, but it is coming along.  Finishing soon.

Down to the Corner

Kaleidoscope mandala's found its third corner now.  I'm working on the parts they sent me - it had six! squares to stitch.  I suppose that means I'm catching up, in a way.  Anyway, it feels good to have a third corner done.

Two Squares of Four

This week I managed to finish off two of the four squares and make a good dent in the other two.

Starting Four More Squares

I've started four more squares on the Kaleidoscope Mandala. 

Twenty Parts Done

I finally finished the part of the kaleidoscope mandala I was working on.  It took a lot longer than usual.  I don't know if it was because it was so much more stitching or if it was because I was busy with Carnaval.  Anyway, twenty squares done and a lot more to go.

A Long Scope

There were five squares in this part of the mandala, so it's taking me a long time to complete it.  I think this is the longest, so far, I've taken on any part of the stitchalongs with Marquoir.  Even though this picture was taken last Saturday, I am still working on it today.  Granted, I've made a lot of progress, but still.  I hope to have this part finished by the time pictures are taken Friday night or Saturday.

Kaleiding Again

I've started working on the Kaleidoscope Mandala again from Tracey Horner with Marquoir.  This time I have five squares to complete, so it's going to take a while.  It's still looking pretty good, I think, and people who see it in person really admire it.

Another Part of the Kaleidoscope

I finished up another part of the Kaleidoscope Mandala this week. Now the whole top's done. Real progress!

1200 Done

I got all 1200 stitches done on the part I was working on this week. On to the next part. I'm still waaay behind on all my stitchalongs, though.

Curves and Squares

It strikes me that this is an odd justaposition: the curves of the mandala being given to us in very strict squares. Anyway, I got done with two more parts of the chart and went on to work on the heart piece. I'll be coming back to this as it comes up in my stitchalong rotation.
