TAST Week 4 - Cretan Stitch

I decided to thread my Cretan stitch after doing it.  I kind of like the effect.  It looks like a  warm scarf on a cold winter day.

Swag And A Half

I've got a swag and a half now; it's coming along nicely.  The next part doesn't get sent until near the end of February.

Branching Out

I've started more than straight background now.  There's a real branch.  Unfortunately, this whole page (of the eight) has no peacock on it whatsoever.  It's all background.

A Video About Those Who Protect Us Abroad

Marine Security Guards protect all of us who are posted overseas with the Department of State.  Where ever there is a consulate or an embassy, there are Marines.  This video is about what they do.

Crossed The Line

I have now officially crossed the last horizontal line with stuff stitched.  It's time to get this thing done.

In The Red Sea

I'm working a couple of rows a week on this, which is good progress, but it just seems to be one big sea of red at the moment.

Crazy Start #23 - The Bluebells

This one is a rarity - a small Chatelaine design.  It's old, too, and has been sitting in my stash for years, but I brought it out for this challenge.  I love the colors in it.
