Top Tower

Outside of a small divot in the bottom, the top tower of the castle's done.  Those dark areas stitched toward the bottom are right around the halfway mark of the design.

Crazy Start #22 - Berkshire Cottage

This start will turn into a little magnet for the fridge.  It's a half-timer cottage.  Should be a quick finish when it gets back onto my rotation.

Trudging Along

I'm trudging along on this - doing two lengths of  thread on the cross stitch and one on the back and specialty stitches.  It's worked so far; I just feel stuck in molasses sometimes.

Crazy Start #21 - Into the Night

This is a small Halloween sampler.  Maybe I can finish it by then!

Middle's Done

I've got the middle part done in this.  Yay, progress!  When I picked this up to do for an exchange, I didn't realize I'd have to stitch both sides.

Filling Out

I don't know why, but this picture looks much more "full" to me than the previous ones.  Maybe I've reached some kind of critical mass and it's looking more done to me.

Crazy Start #20 - Winter Evergreens

This is a counted needlepoint design that has two borders and a central picture.  Started on the border...
