Great Ball of Fire




The colors and pattern on this somewhat remind me of flames.  I think it came out well, even if it's not one of my more comfortable combinations.  This one is also a bit bigger than usual.  I'm pleased with the way the ends came out so even on top and bottom.

Still Hearting

I -will- finish this heart.  It's coming along, but I haven't worked on it every single day like I should because of the temari rush.  That's done now, though, so hopefully I'll finish this this week and mail it off to Germany.

A Temari Star


Another of my temari from the last week and a bit.  This one's green on white.  The thread for the variegated is Flagstone Watercolors.  I think it came out pretty well.

In the Sky


This week's work was on the sky. I did a pretty large block of it.

Green on Black Temari

Here's my second gift temari. I used green Tiara, teal perle, and Rainforest Watercolors. I think it came out pretty well. It's a triple kiku from Barb Suess' book, minus the obi.

Replacing the Compass


I decided to start a quick and easy stitch once the compass finished. It's a Four Way Bargello Ornament by Barbara Hayden. This is just one day's stittching. As you can see, it'll be done in next to no time! I just needed something quick.

New Material


This was the first temari I made using kyo-temari thread. I love the way it feels and the way it glides through the ball. I also love the shine it gives. The temari itself is an S4 with six identical squares.
