Fancy Panel

This week, I worked mainly on the left light panel of her skirt. There are a lot of blank areas - they all get beads. I'm getting less stitching done than I'd like this week, as I've been doing a lot of running around doing last minute things before the trip.

English Sampler Framed

My husband just finished framing this over the weekend. It only took him a few months, and he doesn't do things out in the garage in really cold weather like we had this winter. I think it looks very good and he did a great job!

Back to Bibi

Yup, a lot of white back and forth, back and forth. He's coming along, though.

Part One Done

After all this time, I finally got part one done on the workshop. The frame's done and so are the inner parts charted so far. I think it looks pretty good. Now on to part two.

Laurels?

The side areas I stitched this week look like a laurel crown to me. Of course, that's not what it -is-. The giant egg's getting filled up fairly quickly.

Tidying Up

I finished the other big flower and even started the bottom edge of the eighth band. All that's left of this band is a little bit of green and the rest of the bottom edge. I'm getting there.

Requested Mattie Update

It snowed here on Monday. I -hope- it was the last snow of the winter. Obviously, Mattie the wonderdog doesn't. She will sit out in the falling snow and just let it cover her, happy as a clam. She's around a hundred pounds now and a very gentle and loving dog.

Here she is in the snow again. One of the other things she does is play in the snow by burying her muzzle in it. Sometimes she'll try to dive and bury her whole body in it, making snow puppies all over the yard.
