Last Cracker

Finally, my last Christmas cracker was delivered on the one day we got mail two weeks ago.  It wasn't the sender's fault that it took so long, but Turkish Air's.  Isn't it beautifully stuffed with stuff?  I can't wait to use it!

Crazy Start #10 Asian Palm

This is an old kit I had bought on clearance.  Looks like it's finally going to be stitched.

Speared

Although I'm not done with all the middle filling, I'm getting closer to having this done.  The middle has another layer in a thicker thread to add.  Once that's done, there's the rest of the left and then outlining the whole thing.  It's getting so close to being done!  Did you know that the fleur-de-lis is based on the shape of the head of an ancient weapon?

Crazy #9 - Let's Get Fancy Biscornu

This is my crazy start number nine.  Since it's also for an exchange, you'll see it for at least a couple of weeks more.

Nearly Twelve

It looks so nicely squared up in this picture.  Halfway done, too!

TAST Week #2 - Buttonhole Millipede

It looks like a millipede to me, at least.  The center is a row of chain stitches, with outward facing buttonhole stitches lining it.

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.
