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.

 

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.

 

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. 

 

Getting More Green and Black

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

 

So Much Orange

All the middles of the little medallions need to be filled in, but this is getting close to being done.

 

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.

 

Two Bells

At this point, it's pretty obvious why these flowers are called bluebells. One and a half to go.

 

Ready for the Background

All done but the background now. That's the quick part.

I am embarrassingly far behind on posting. This year with Andreas away has been super busy and a bit occupied. This is a biscornu with tiny! stitches. 

 

Down to the Last Flower

Last flower started. Then a couple of blades of grass and another finish.

 

Looking Cute

No backstitching yet, but the red panda is beginning to look truly cute.

 

On to the Alphabet

Lots of backstitching still left on top, but time to start most of the cross stitches in the alphabet.

 

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.

 

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.

Another intricate biscornu started. I need to finish one.

Started the winter sky.

 

Second Flowering

A bit darker than in person, but the second flower is almost done. It's getting much closer to being done.
