Small, But It's Done

Yes, it's the first week of April, but I just finished my March ornament. It feels good to finish something - I only completed two things in all of March. January's overproductivity must be catching up with me. I did get quite a bit done today, so maybe I'll get on an upward trend. Anyway - this was a really easy stitch and I think it turned out pretty well. I think I'll finish it into a little pillow ornament.

Slow Progress

Two more lengths of floss into the design this week. Both colors finished on the third side and stitching partially into the fourth too, so I can't complain.

Rose Angel Halfway

March's ornament is getting there, despite March being gone. I'm falling behind on so much I'm beginning to feel guilty about it. This has gone easily, at least.

A New Ribbon Start

I finally began my project from a class that started in the middle of February. It's from Vickie Brown of Ribbonsmyth. The first lesson of the class was all talk and no do, so I kind of tuned it out. I went back to it last week and finally started. Lessons one and two are done on this, and I hope to do lesson three later today. Silk ribbon embroidery is a new thing to me, so hopefully I'll learn quite a bit doing this.

Third Corner Done

Finally, the third corner's complete. I haven't gotten any further than this in the days since the picture was taken, but it's done. The fourth corner is well started, too. Now I just need to find time to stitch.

More on the Flowers

A bit more on the flag and on her skirt got done this week. Still suffering from lack of stitching time, though. Her roses are coming along; hopefully I'll have at least those done next time I post.

Almost to the End

Once I finish filling in this gold, it's all silver tent stitchs in the background. I'll have the first of twelve(!) belt buckles done. It looks like all the stitch guides use the same illegible font, and the instructions are written in the same way, but if I can get through one, I can get through them all.
