Grey Day

Another house nearly done now. I still like that I can work on different parts of this and see them develop pretty quickly. Well, pretty quickly for me.

We went out to the grocery store this afternoon and will be staying in all weekend here. There's supposed to be six inches of snow and the streets are already slushy and grey.

Nearly Halfway

I am almost halfway done with this piece now. When this picture was taken on Friday, I was almost done with part five. I finished the part before I left for Kosovo. There was more cross stitch in this part than in the previous, but the blackwork was pretty dense. I like the colors I've chosen and how it's coming out.

Another New Block

First, I made it to Kosovo with no problems! I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday - I was just very tired from the flights. Things went very smoothly and well. I'll start posting pictures soon. It snowed last night, though... not something I wanted to deal with. It's even colder here right now than home.

Anyway, back to this block. I made it for another round robin; it's pieced from a combination of fabrics from my regular stash and ones given to me. Hopefully it'll look pretty good when it gets back.

Bling Around

Still working on getting the bling all the way around the four sides. I'm almost done with it, and working on it's giving me design ideas. It's on the plane with me, and hopefully I'll get some done sitting in airports in Paris and Vienna.

A Final Finish Before I Leave

I completed this late last week in preparation for going on my trip - now I don't have to take it with me! I really like how it turned out, and I will finish it into a pinkeep or boxtop when I get home.

Third Part Tangled

This is the third part of Zentangle, all done. I received the fourth part via email this evening, but I am not working on it until I get to Kosovo with it. I've been busy packing and such today - and will be leaving tomorrow evening! I'll still be updating my blog daily, though, and bringing stitching with me.

Nearly Banded

I'm almost at the end of band eight; all that needs to be done is the rest of the bottom line. The problem with this, like the problem with the top line, is that I unplied soysilk to do it. This makes it -very hard- to work with. It shreds and falls apart if you look at it funny. I don't think I'll do it again any time soon, but I need to continue in order to get this band done.
