Some Sill, Some Sky

This week, I worked on the sky again and on the door sill. More progress, and next it's the roof.

Darker Than the Picture

As I'm working on this and starting the first of the bargello rectangles, I'm discovering how very overexposed the picture of the project is in the magazine. I liked it lighter, but I love it darker. I know how hard this particular project is to photograph, so I'm not complaining about it being wrong. I'm just pleasantly surprised at how much more saturated the color is in person.

An Original Beginning

I've started designing, and this is a project I've designed. But ... it has to be stitched, so I'm stitching it too! I'm calling it The Heart of Winter.

Number Nine, Number Nine

Yes, the ninth part of See the Stars is done. I think it looks pretty good.

It's a Something

I've finally started something besides background. It's a salamander to me or a dragon to some. Anyway, it's all dark and beginning to take shape.

What a Difference a Backstitch Makes

I've started the backstitching on these houses, and it really makes them pop. Sometimes, it really just strikes me how much difference such a simple thing makes.

It's Still Brown

I've been working on the skirt some more this week. It's coming to the point where it's going to intersect with the ribbon below, which means it's getting close to being done. The colors of the week were more of the lighter browns.
