Rose Round Robin

The roses are getting there. They seem to be a bit more orange than I wanted, but I'm not about to go rip everything out now and start over. It's over halfway done for sure now, and I got more done after this shot was taken. Perhaps I'll get some time tomorrow to work on it.

Purse Right Side Out

This week, I managed to get to the point of turning the purse layers right side out. Since taking these pictures, I sewed up the open side and mended the little areas that didn't quite get caught into the hem properly. Now to sew up the edges and make it into a real purse before beading it some more... I should get it done before going to ANG seminar in August, right? I do like the color of the lining, even if I don't like sewing it. It's slippery.

One More Feature Done

I got the plant in the basket at the top done this week. Since the taking of this picture on Friday, I finished the balls on top of the columns and started the pots at the bottom of the piece. It's getting there, and I'm so glad I'm done with those arches finally. Perhaps I'll get some of the pots done this week, too.

Mystery Huswif

New project! My husband took the picture upside down, but he didn't know. It's the first picture he's taken of it. I actually paid for this back in November and got the first installment in February. It's the 2007 Mystery from Carol Tinson of Heirloom Embroideries. It's a huswif, something I've never done before. The silks are from Vicki Clayton and they're very smooth and wonderful to work with. I got some more done on this yesterday, so you'll see more in the picture next week. Of course, I have no hope of catching up to everyone else... but I'm used to that by now.

Medieval Town Mandala - A Bit of Gold

Still working on the first corner of Part five. Since there are four of them, this is going to take quite a while, but I'm still working along on it. Hopefully, with less running kids about and more time this week, I'll get some done.

Mini Mandala Done!

The top picture is the one taken at the time of all the other pictures last night, and the bottom one is from this morning, with it complete. I had to stay up late waiting for company to get here through the snow, so I put the time to good use. I like the looks of it and will be turning it into a little cushion for the friend who got here late last night. This also makes finish number seven of my ten project challenge and I get to start something else. Yay! I do finish things sometimes.

Second Leaf Done

Yay! I got Part B, the second leaf, done today. They look pretty good together. Now, if only I could find more time for this. I really need to get it done before I go to France, as I don't want to have to carry it in my suitcase over there and risk something happening to it. On to Part C, the inner part of the flower.
