Part Five Started


This stitchalong has been moving really fast; I'm about halfway done. I've got a lot of blackwork to do on this section, too, but it's got more green than the others so far.

March of the Crabs


This is the third of the round robins I'm currently participating in - the one where each person embellishes a small block. Simona's theme was under the sea. It's a popular one going around in the group, but this was the first I'd worked on and I wasn't really inspired until I got the idea for button crabs. Then the rest came together. I've got coral, fishies in the kelp, some starfish, some pearls, and the crabs. They were super easy to do and I think they came out cute.

More Squiggles


I added a lot more squiggles this time and finished them up for the moment. Next step is a dark green wavy line ... the last delimiter of the piece. It's getting pretty close to done, but it looks like the actual finish will have to wait for Kosovo.

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.
