A Few More Doors


This week was not only backstitching, but specialty stitches. I added the Rhodes stitches to the center building, satin stitches to the left garage, and window curtains in some of the others. It's coming alive.

Three Shades


I worked on three shades of brown this week, including bringing down the outer edge of ribbon on the right. I think I made pretty significant progress.

1200 Done


I got all 1200 stitches done on the part I was working on this week. On to the next part. I'm still waaay behind on all my stitchalongs, though.

Back to the Heart


I am back to the Herz Rot-Weiss on the stitchalong rotation. They're on the fifth part; I'm on the third. I'm making progress on a lot of things, though. I still like the colors of this and the intricate scrollwork.

Winter's Heart


I finished the heart I designed. I'm going to tweak it a bit, but overall, I like the result. I'm thinking of making three more hearts for the other three seasons.

Nearly Drawn


The outer circle on the compass is nearly complete, meaning I've got the end in sight on this. Who knows? Maybe I'll even finish this by the end of the year, too.

Golden Lines


The golden lines on the bottom left are done now. I'm working on that connection and the bottom egg, which is nearly completely outlined now.
