More Backgrounding

It's almost to the point that background is all that's left.

Mercedes Showroom

 Wandering between the main market and the Medieval market, we found a Mercedes showroom!  They were nice enough to let people in to take pictures.

One Last Start

This is my last new start on the Christmas rotation.  It's the October Mini Mystery from Laura J Perin.   It's a bit of a stitchalong for CyberStitchers.  It shouldn't take me too long, right?

Last Square Done

I finally finished the last of these little Precious Gems from Stitch magazine.  I've been making them into ornaments.

City Hall Square At Night

 The same places we took pictures of during the day, but at night - including a choir and small band on the balcony.

Mersburg Finished!

Yay, one of my 2011 crazy January starts is done!  It's Mersburg Castle from Melina Style, and I picked up the kit in Plovdiv, Bulgaria when I was there in 2009.  I think it came out fairly well, but definitely needs some blocking.  I haven't decided how to finish it yet.

Nothing New Done

No more buildings completed.  I just got more of the little bits done.  Some backstitching and satin stitching, too, on the right.
