All Covered Up

I finished my cover.  Still don't have anything to put in it, but it's done!  The Stitch'n''Zip kit had plenty of floss, but I still wish they'd do something  about the extra canvas on the back side.

Temari's Done

This is the temari-in-progress I showed you last week.  It's done now!

Crazy Start #8 - Sweet Flowers

This is a huge stitchalong sampler from a designer in Argentina.  She's starting the stitchalong from the bottom up, something Sticklounge does often, too.  It's just about my least favorite place to begin.  I decided to change up the colors, using hand dyed linen and Florimell silks.

Crazy # 7 Patriotic Angel

Bits of blue on black don't look very interesting at the moment, but they're going to have bits of the Declaration of Independence backstitched across them later.  For now, it's a crazy start and will get into my rotation eventually.

In the Doldrums

I know I'm making a lot of progress on this every week.  I just don't feel like it.  The piece has only the three bottom squares that already have stitching in them to be finished.  I need to push on.

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.
