Working on Weihnachtsmysterie

I'm close to being done with this.  Only the bottom part to go, now.  The end is near.

Three Lines, Three Eggs Done

Yay, real progress!  I have only parts of one egg and one line to go.  I think the line will be finished first, then I can finally go on to another part ... after I do all the specialty stitches in the lines.

Got It at the Market

Last week, I got all these ribbons and buttons at the local market.  It's still a bit odd to me to purchase ribbons outside, but it's neat too.  She has such a selection, and I've become a regular.  Not only that, she speaks English.

Line by Line

Still get this done at a snail's pace.  It's two more lines down from the last picture, at least.

Working Outward

I got the third set of bands done now.  It's filling up fast!

Yay! Officially on Seven

I'm finally officially on part seven of this piece.  It's only been three and a half years since I started it, and I've worked pretty steadily on it.  Of course, I have a lot of other projects, but still.  I'm slow.  Although they look quite similar, there are differences in the four sides.  The top edge of this side is definitely different from its predecessor.  It's nice to have something different to look forward to on this.

New (to me) Magazines

On the same trip as the bead shop, we stopped into a news stand on the Plaza Independencia.  It had a -lot- of magazines, including a lot of crafts ones.  All were in Spanish, but they're pretty easy to understand.  I picked up these five.  All have projects I want to do in them.
