Starting The Climb

I've started climbing up the left side now, balancing things out.

A Neat Beading Site

I don't normally send people to sites, but I figured there are some beaders who read my blog, and I've been fascinated by all the spiffy beading projects I've been seeing at biserok.org.  It's a Russian language site that has a LOT of beading going on.  Check it out if you're interested.  And remember, google translate is your friend.

Cracker From Sarma

 Here's the cracker I received from Sarma, full of goodies.  Thank you Sarma!

A New Kiku

 I decided to try a staggered kiku.  Here it is with most of the top half done.

One More Ornament

 I finished Renoir from Kick Back and Stitch into an ornament.  Andreas insisted I keep it, so this one stays at home.

Bounty From Lorrie

 Lorrie spoiled me with the cracker exchange.  There were a bunch of little packages, as they all wouldn't fit in the cracker.  Top is the packages, chocolate included, and bottom is the packages exploded view.  Thank you Lorrie!

What Does It Say?

All the character is done, meaning that all that's left is background and border.  Yay!  Maybe I can get it done soon.  I have no idea what that character at the bottom says.  I -think- it's supposed to say courage, but who knows?
