I not only did some window this week, I did a bit of the building around the door. It's all whole cross stitches and worked over a big surface, so it feels kind of like doing a HAED design.
If I haven't miscounted, I've got the top all the way across now. Just need to fill in the rest of the top strip and then the fun part - starting the different designs on the four sides.

Some rice stitches started this week - The four large stitches and then the bars of stitches at the top and side. They look like a lot of progress, even though they're very few stitches, because they're huge.
Both the egg and the connector are coming along fairly well. All of the inner line of the connector is done, and I will be adding the black this coming week. The egg's insides is no longer looking like swirls, but real palm leaf flourishes. Maybe I'll be able to start the third egg soon.
Things look a bit crooked, but it's only the picture. Everything's even. The ladder's the central part of this band, and there are flowers all around it. I'm really hoping to finish this piece relatively soon.
I started my See the Stars for July last week. It's got a -lot- of stitching this month, so I was no where near finishing it by the end of the week. It's looking good, though. I really love these colors.
I worked on two areas on the top houses this week - the far upper house on the right is done but for the roof, and the central building has everything below the roof areas done. Not a single strand of brown, even. Yay!
