Remember that cute little puppy I brought home from Kosovo in June? I decided it was time for an update. The inset picture is from June, while she was still in Kosovo. Each of the tiles she's sitting on is about ten inches square. The larger picture is her a few weeks ago, picking sticks. She's still adorable and sweet and loving, but growing! Right now, she's close to a hundred pounds and comes up to mid-thigh when standing. Isn't she still cute, though? She's still got a lot of growing to do, as she's only seven months old. I love her!

Another Round Thing
My project of the weekend was making this temari for the ornament exchange Pocono Mountain EGA has at its annual holiday dinner - tonight. Talk about last minute. I had the gray ball itself hanging around the house for a couple of months, so all I had to do was mark it and then stitch. I used variegated Anchor perle, and I think it came out pretty spiffy. It also counts as part of my project challenge, since it's all from stash.

It's a Ball!
This week I finished my second temari from my seminar class. Each of the six sides has a different kiku star on it. I think it came out really well for a novice. It's also a finish for my project challenge AND a seminar finish. Lucky me!

Another Crazy Round Robin
I had another seamy side block for that round robin. This one's Bonnie's. I think her block is beautiful and coming out wonderfully. My stitches for the month were feather stitch and Fargo rose.
I made this motif on the lightest piece of fabric using a kind of random laddering feather stitch and Fargo roses. I can tell I need more practice on them, but each one's unique and kind of fits with the idea I was going for - late autumn as the last leaves are falling. The ends without roses on them have little beads in gold or burgundy.

Snowflakes Galore
I really like how this is turning out, even if I've had to do more frogging than I'd like to. The colors are coming out even better than I'd hoped. And yes, I -will- get it done before Christmas.
