Second Line Done


I got the second connector between eggs done this week. It means I'll be doing only the second egg until I can start the third connector. Things are definitely progressing.

A HAED Start


I was gifted several Heaven and Earth Designs charts during their sale a couple of weeks ago. This was one of them - Oriental Courage. It's my second posting on it, but I couldn't resist the title. Anyway, I'm working on it daily and it's making a lot of progress. It's one of their bookmarks (storykeeps), and is supposed to be three by twelve inches. So far, I've got almost half an inch complete. I would be parking threads, but since the colors are all reds and so close, I was unable to track which was which.

A Darker Shade of Brown


This week's work was mainly dark brown lowlights in various folds of the skirt. It extended the skirt down quite a way more.

Edging Along


Parts four and five of the kaleidoscope mandala are done; I finished them before starting the last part of Zentangle. I like the way the colors are looking and it's not a hard stitch. I won't be getting back with part six, though, until I'm done with the next part of See the Star and the first parts of Red and White Heart and Tam's Christmas Mystery. Lots of stitching going on in Marquoir.

On the Last Part


Yay, I started the last part of Zentangle! This means I'll have one of my Marquoir stitchalong pieces done. It's a good thing because two more started this month... now on to stitch and finish this.

Nearly Round


The back wheel is nearly complete. I was debating this last week on whether to just finish, but decided not to. I'm getting close to that point, though.

Crossing the Sides

I completed the second part this week and continued on with the third. There's still a lot of work to do, even though I'm on the last part. Lots of rice stitches left to do, along with the filigree on the four major sides.
