A Window Or So
I got the top window done, and the middle one nearly so. The bottom window still has quite a bit to stitch on it.

More Painted Glass
Early this month the embassy had a glass painting artisan in. She did a lot of kid stuff, but I was able to find these candle holders that fit my style.

Framing The Center
I've gotten three of four rectangles done to get the middle star framed. More of the same stitch over and over again.
Fleured Up
I finished my shaded blackwork fleur-de-lis. I ended up working the design, in total, from the cover picture instead of the instructions. The instructions had a major flaw - they had each line over one thread instead of two, creating a much denser pattern than intended. I changed the colors too. Brown just does nothing for me, especially a flat, plain brown. I have no idea of what to do with this, but now it's stitched and I have one more of my 2011 Crazy January starts done.

Not Quite Fifteen
I still have back stitches to do on the fifteenth motif. This particular motif puts me in a quandary, too. Instead of a maximum of forty stitches square, this one was designed as fifty. I now have to compensate with a skinny design to the right of it and a short one below it.
