Browning it Out

Next to the cream colored building, I've been stitching a dark brown one this week. I'll be working on it next time, too. This side is coming along pretty well, and I might make my goal of finishing it by the end of summer - then three more sides. I swear I'll get this done! It's only been in my rotation three years now.

Flag's Done

This week, I finally finished the last bit of red at the bottom of the flag. This means the flag's done. Now I've got more skirt to do and then the bottom flourish. It's getting close; I feel like finishing the flag's a pretty big milestone.

And Another Part Done

You can tell I'm getting close to finishing this one. I completed part seven this week and have part eight in my inbox. I'm going to finish part five of See the Stars before I do part eight of this, though. I'm glad I went with my colors. I like them better than the original.

More Real Progress

It only took me a couple of days to do it. I stitched part five of Marquoir's Zentangle. I'm now only two parts behind on this, so I'm catching up on everything gradually - at least, I'm completing parts in less time than they're releasing new ones!

It's a Pumpkin-to-be

This is Cindy's autumn round robin block. As you can see, it came to me already three dimensional. I was the first to stitch on it; I think the ones who stitch later will have an even harder time.

Cindy said it was to be The Great Pumpkin, and I'm not really someone who does Halloween, so I put a bunch of harvest-type stuff on it and some copper and natural materials.

My husband really liked the spider on its web, for some reason. That was the part that took the least amount of time, too.

There were eight total sections; I did two and two seams, and chose an edge because it was easier to work on. I don't know how whoever gets the middle is going to be able to gather everything together and get in there to do it. Anyway, it's mailed out to Cobi today and I hope Cindy likes what I've done.

Blending It

I did quite a few scotch stiches this week, all the same color too. They were the middle color of the five pinks. Although I'm only just over a third of the way through the thirty pages of instructions, I -think- I'm over halfway through the actual stitches. It looks more than half covered to me, at least. We'll see.

Bibendum's Got Bike

Yup, this week I started Bibebdum's bike. He's going to be styling away soon, and I'm soon to be done. I'm guessing he'll be complete by Labor Day.
