Two Squares of Four

This week I managed to finish off two of the four squares and make a good dent in the other two.

Last Backstage Pictures - 28 February - Part 3 - Carnaval

One last set of backstage photos from last month.  The guys were surprised to get their pictures taken because most people want the dressed up (or undressed up) girls.

The Underside

I managed to get the underside of the third jellyfish finished this week.   It covers nearly as much area as the top.

Taking the Fifth

I started the fifth part of the German Group Mystery this week and moved it down below the other set of "flowers".  I did this because the first part of the chart didn't indicate where it was, so I started in the middle.  It was actually the bottom row, so to ensure I have room for the whole design, I'm moving the interstitial motifs to the bottom.

An Exchange Start

The Brooke's Books Interactive group on Yahoo is having a spring exchange, and I am participating.  Here's the start of my exchange piece.  It's got no cross stitch, but is mainly satin and Algerian eye stitches.

More pictures from backstage.  In this set, you can see details of the paint and costumes. 

Flying Away

When they were here in January, I promised Andreas' parents that I'd make them this temari.  They picked out the pattern and the main variegated thread.  I think it came out pretty well.  It's in the mail on the way to them.
