Medieval Town Mandala


Three sides done, one to go. This one is showing progress every week, lately, since I've gone on to part 4. Now if only everything else would go as quickly... anyway, I should be able to get more done this week despite all the extra stuff going on.

A Very Nice Surprise


My friend's parents gave me this present last night - they're the ones who are getting the Pandas. I think it's really pretty and will try to work it into my rotation really soon. It should be a quick stitch.

Midi Mystery


I got a bit more of this done this weekend despite spending two whole days driving in the car and the rest of the week being out and about at a friend's house. It's amazing I got anything at all done. On the left arch, I got the light green done on one side. This week, I've got another two day drive, my son coming to visit, and three new pets to acclimate to my house. Somehow, I doubt I'll get much stitching done.

A New Start for a New Year


Even though I already have too many projects going on, I started another one today. It's Chatelaine's Mystery X. As you can see, I haven't done much, but it's only today! The fabric is from Silkweaver and I bought the fiber and bead kit from European Cross Stitch. I'm looking forward to seeing it unfold.

Round Robin


So, er, my husband can't tell the top from the bottom of a capital L? I think he was just in a hurry. Anyway, I've gotten more of this L done and should have it done in plenty of time to pass on on the 15th of January.

Christmas Tree




These are the pictures my husband took earlier this week of our Christmas tree. Almost all the ornaments on it are handmade - there are a few we keep that aren't for sentimental reasons. It's getting full of needlwork stuff and I think it looked good this year.

Goldwork

Just as I was on a roll with this, I ran out of Jap! So ... I ordered more from Tanja Berlin and it's already been shipped. It'll probably get here while I'm gone. This is getting pretty close to being finished. Over halfway there. I still like it, and was afraid when I started that I wouldn't.
