Shutter and Sidewalk

This week's work was on the upper shutter, the side of the middle window, and the gray sidewalk on the bottom.  Definitely visible progress, and about to turn a page in the chart!

Butterflies, Anyone?

This is the second of two blocks I made for round robins this month.  This one's an insect round robin, so I found butterfly fabrics to put on it.

Beadiful

I went back to the bead shop yesterday and bought more.  Some are being sent to the States for an exchange, but I'm keeping some, too.  Some of the nicer finds: small coins with Elizabeth II on them, colored wooden beads, some twisted manganese blue bugle beads, and star shaped glass beads.

Back to Quilting

Well, I've finally joined some more crazy quilting round robins.  This block is for an Asian round robin.  I decided to ask for an Arabian theme again, then perhaps I can do something with the two blocks - this one and the one from the previous Asian round robin.  I'll have to see what they do with it!

Yarn Stash

The same day I bought the magazines, we went to the yarn shop.  I got alllll this!  It was only about $30 US.  Not bad at all.  Uruguay has several yarn manufacturers, and the quality's very good.  Now to start making something.

And while we were at the Port Market, we found this kilo of spun wool for about the same price.  It's nice and fluffy feeling.  I'm going to make something and then dye and felt it.

Bagging It

And here's the Bargello Medley from TGOSM again.  Progress, but I'm still not done with the second band.  On the other hand, the first rectangle is filling in nicely.

New Year, New Start

This year, I decided to join the crowd and start something new with the new year.  I'd bought this project, Winter White by Indigo Rose, from Stitches and Spice during the Online Retail Needlework Show.  It was calling to me.  So I started it on the first.  My rotation's temporarily a bit larger, but I'm glad I did it.
