Work Around

I told you about the one stitch over problem in a previous post.  Here's my workaround: I've stitched the top part of the Chinese character so I can make sure something's in the right place.  Now I can just ad the reds in around it.  There's not going to be a real difference in looks if they're a stitch off.

Blue and More Blue

I am back to feeling like all I'm doing is sky on this.  It -should- end in a few more lines, as the sky is almost done.

Crazy #6 - Renoir

This is one of a series of octagons I previously purchased from Fireside Stitchery.  I finally got around to starting it as part of my Crazy January.  The full outline is done, so you can see that when I get back to this, it'll be a fairly quick and easy stitch.

Founded

I have the foundation of the central building done in the bottom now, and some backstitching on the side.  Another part is definitely taking shape.

Crazy #5- European Fountain

This was a small kit I bought while in France a few years ago.  I pulled it out and stitched it in a few days for the Crazy January Challenge.  It was great to get one done!

Getting Things DONE

Just after the beginning of the year, I looked at the stuff in my stitch closet and saw a huge pile of things that were stitched but not finished.  I decided it was time to buckle down and get things done.  This is the first I picked - Jubilation.  It's now an ornament.

Back to Leaves

Time to get working on the leaves again.  I ended up frogging some on the left due to a counting error, and added a spine to the right leaf.
