All Silvered Out

I finished the Silvery Tree ornament!  The actual finishing into an ornament was very easy - one advantage of perforated paper.  This also makes my first finish for the up 4 a challenge stitchalong, where you finish fifteen projects you've been working on before the beginning of 2011.

They Don't Like Posing....

Actually, when people in the parade see Andreas' huge camera and lens, they pose.  Sometimes to the point of holding up the parade...








Birds Done

Back to See the Star, and I've completed the center birds and the date now.  It's officially most of the way done.  Now to finish it by April!

Cray January #12 - Pink Crystal

A piece I could start and finish in one day!  So I did.  It was quick and made a pretty little ornament.  It made me feel good to finish one, too.

Green and White and Kids

More parade pictures!









Last Asian Block

 This is the last block for me to work on in the Asian round robin.  As you can see, Peggy's block doesn't have very much room left after all the other ladies did their wonderful work on it.
I added a pagoda, a couple of seam treatments, and some charms, then sent it on home.  It's with Peggy now!

Crazy January #11- Hannah's Hummingbird Knot Garden

Here's a kit that's been sitting in my stash for quite a while, so what better opportunity to start it than the Crazy 15?  It uses Madeira threads instead of DMC, and the packages are weird to get used to.  Other than that, things are going fairly smoothly, though I'd always rather use something like Treasure Braid than blending filament to give sparkle.
