One Last English Garden

Arlene's is the last of the English Garden blocks for me to work on.  She wanted pastels, and I picked this fan.  You can see what I did in the photo below.  It's been on its way to her for over a week now.

Mattie's Friend

This is Casio the Pomeranian.  He is owned by Leo, who has him stuffed in his shirt.  Casio is Mattie's bestest friend (Mattie's blog: www.sharrvelous.com).  They get along famously despite the extreme size difference.  Casio loves riding on the motorcycle, so I thought I'd share these pictures so you can see how he does it.

Fourth Bulb Outlined

The last set of acanthus leaves is outlined in gold.  Last step on that part is Rhodes stitches in the lines.  On the following part, I'm done with the upper left top.  I guess that means I'm a quarter of the way through part five.

Bunnies

Bunnies are almost done.  This means the top part of the heart is almost done.  Yay!

More Jewelry Holders

I've dedicated a drawer in my dresser for jewelry and got the idea from Martha Stewart to use unique little china pieces to organize it.  Picked up two more of them the other week at Plaza Matriz.  Aren't they cute?

Traveling Steampunk Style

One more steampunk block done, one last to go.  This one's Kathi's, and her theme was Time and Travel.  Well... someone else had spelled out Paris on the block, so I -had- to put on an Eiffel Tower.  I also added a few more things and sent it on its way.

A Few Lines Here...

and a few lines there and soon you have real progress.  I'm fairly far down the second page now, and the salamander (dragon) is getting down to the lower part.  Maybe it'll get done some day.
