My First Biscornu

I finally succumbed and made a finish into a biscornu.  I think it came out pretty well.  The back is blank, and the front is that Frimas design I finished last month.

The seventh part of Herz Rot Weiss from the Marquoir group is started.  I truly love these colors.  It looks sophisticated with the tracery.  I'm behind, but I'll get it done.

My First Egg

I made this egg for an egg temari swap with Talk Temari.  It's going out in the mail tomorrow.  It was interesting working with a completely new shape.  I used anchor #5 perle and there's a plastic egg in the middle to give it its shape.  I have a gross of plastic eggs, so I'll be making more soon.

Bees and Ladybugs

Another buggy block from the round robin group.  This one's Cathy L's and is on its way to Arlene now.  Here is what was done on it when I got the block.



And here it is after my work.  I added beady bees and ladybugs and some stitchy seams.  I also added some ribbon butterflies.  I hope she likes it.

Redder

Yup, it's more red.  Shocking.  I've not been progressing quickly on anything lately, but will be getting back to this this week.  I hope.

More Petals

So I am once again really slow with a stitchalong.  The third page comes out next week and I'm still on page one.  On the other hand, I -am- actually doing it and I like the way it looks.

Blacks and Browns

I got another building done (yay!) and did a lot of roofing on the stables, too.
