Roofing

The town hall roof on the left has been getting its ironwork.  Other than that, I've been working on some of the bottom buildings, but none are yet done.

To Rule Or Not

I was rather upset when I received this block.  It's thrice the area a round robin block in the group it's in is supposed to be.  On top of that, the owner asked for a lot of encrusting and extra embellishment.  For a smaller than usual block, that's great.  For a monsterly huge block like this, that's pretty ridiculous.  On top of that, this block is so far out of my comfort zone taste-wise that I was flummoxed as to what to put on it.  My first thought was a My Little Pony.  Instead, I embellished the unicorn and added flowery stuff around it.  I hope the owner likes this block, but I'm thinking I'm going to withdraw from any other round robin theme she signs up to that I am already part of.  Is this fair of me?

Found My 647

I found my DMC 647 at Gemenii to continue on with the sidewalk.  Did a bit of sidewalk and some wall again.  Also did some green leaves.

Bring A Butterfly

Here is my first block of work for the Butterflies and Dragonflies round robin.  Cathy L's block came to me as shown on the left.  To me, the block looked very 1960's for some reason.  In that vein, I decided to do a pop art butterfly in wool on the lower right and to outline the barely visible butterflies on the fabric in the upper left.  You can see pictures of both embellishments below.

Finally Looking

I am finally seeing what I consider as some progress on this.  The roofs are shaped and the cottage is coming to life.  Looks like perhaps I can make this into my travel-on-plane piece, perhaps, in three weeks.

Sideways Again

I didn't realize the picture was rotated until I uploaded it, and I'm too lazy to redo this.  On the other hand, you can se some progress made on the bottom houses of the wall this way.

Grassy

I am finally starting the fifth part.  It's time to get this sampler done.
