Snow!

These are pictures from our back porch. It's all snowy and such, and though these were taken yesterday, the scene's much the same today.

We're elevated and on Dragodan hill, so there's a very pretty view of the city below.

Foliage

The middle of this is filling in nicely. I've got a lot of the leaves in the center ornament done and the background is almost complete.

Part Five Completed

Here is part five completed. Somehow I've managed to fall a section behind on this piece - part seven was released yesterday. On the other hand, I'm pretty close to caught up. I'll finish stitching up part three of See the Stars and then get on to part six of this. Maybe I'll have it done before part eight comes out. I'm very thankful to Tam of Tam's Creations and the Marquoir group for allowing me to stitch this great design.

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.
