Tired of the Skirt

I know I am very close to being done with it, but I'm getting very tired of working on the skirt and getting so little done on it each time.  It's my fault, I know.  If I worked on it more at a time, I wouldn't feel this way.  I am, after all, about 80% done with a very big project.  I should be proud of my progress.  Maybe I will be when the skirt's finally done.

Today's Parade Pictures

 Another set of pictures of candombe groups marching down the street.  In this set, the dancers were actually practicing a pattern!







Tentacles in Place

Back to the jellies!  I finished off the tentacles on the fifth, so now I get to start something new on it next time I pick it up.

Crazy January #6 - Chilly Wind

This is a somewhat small piece and autumnal in theme.  It's interesting to me, so I've tucked it into my bag to work on in spare moments.

Fun with Flags

It takes a lot of practice to wrestle the huge flags into submission and fluttering beauty.  Here's someone trying.






Back to Topside

Real progress- one side finished!  The top side is complete.  Now to work down  the diagonal again...

Crazy January #5 - Freedom Rings

Just plain cross stitch with a couple of buttons, but I need to do something patriotic.
