So Hard

I know I'm making progress because I keep putting stitches in, yet it's so hard to see it when I've not looked in a few days.

Back To The Beach

The top half of the B is almost done.  The bird is done but for backstitching, and things are progressing fairly quickly.

Crazy January Challenge Day 15

It's a really bad picture, but it was a good (and short!) project.  Watercolour Egg from Sekas and Co. was an easy bargello design.  The perforated paper is a very shiny silver, and the thread is Watercolours Williamsburg.  I managed to make two whole eggs from the kit, so I'm going to put them back to back to make one ornament.  Yay for my first challenge finish of the year.  May there be many more!

Crazy January Challenge Day 14

Every time I work on  some crewel, I remember how fun it is for me.  So why don't I work on it more often?  It even goes relatively quickly!  Anyway, from last year's line up, Heartsease Pansy from The Crewel Work Company.  I like it.

Just Some Filling In

Filled in some brick colors and that's about it this time.

Inching Up

I have only two complaints about the instructions for this sampler.  One is that there are no overlapping areas on the pages, so making sure you have the right spacing is nearly impossible.  The other is that I've been going from bottom right to upper left this whole time.  Yuck!  It's much easier to go the reverse, or at least start in the middle.  Regardless, it's almost done.

Temari Staggered

 It took a little while, but I finished this one!
