Knotted Up


I finished the major knot outline this week and started adding some bling. You can see, now that it's all done, the piebald effect of stitching the way the instructions said. It looks like individual tiles instead of a continuous line. I hope that's what the designer was going for.

Waves of White


Okay, so the picture looks a bit yellow, but I promise it's white. I did a lot of white back and forth this week. It's something I have to get used to with Mr. Michelin, but he still looks cute.

Zentangle Zebra


This second part of the zentangle flower looks like a zebra to me. I finished it off this week, but haven't taken a picture of it done. I'll be doing that tonight or tomorrow when the third part of Tam's mystery is done.

Round and Round We Go


I did a lot of Jessica stitches this week - all those pink ones in the middle. I also added some Algerian eyes to the outer area. It's coming along and I'm almost done with part one of three. Of course, the group ends at the end of the month. Think I'll catch up?

Beginning to Fill the Egg


You have to look at the enlarged picture to see most of this week's stitching, since it's mainly half stitches. They're quicker to do than full stitches, and take up less floss, so I get more progress. Four of these eggs, all the way around, and stripes with cross and specialty stitches tying them together. This one is definitely going with me to Kosovo, so I'll still make progress there. When I stitch.

Another Big Flower


This week, I got a big part of the band done - one of the two large side flowers. I even managed to start a second. All that's left of this band after these flowers is the trellis sides and bottom and then the straight line across the bottom upside down from the top one.

See Some Stars Yet?


I completed part two of See the Star, and now have new colors on it. I think my color choices are coming together pretty well. The next part doesn't come out until the beginning of the month.
