Got Branch

Just more background and branch.  Soon, I'll be working on things that look different every once in a while.

Starting The Last

Yay!  I am now officially starting the last side of the town!  

Martisor

In Moldova and other parts of southestern Europe, March first is the first day of spring.  People celebrate by pinning red and white decorations on their clothes.  Sone of the above martisors were given to me; others were bought at the embassy.  All are handmade.  I think they're pretty.  The tradition is to wear them until March 31st, then pin them to a budding branch.  If you wish as you do it, the wish is supposed to come true.

Adding Flourishes

I've started working on what will become the final set of borders.  This involves a lot of smaller stitches, so the progress is slower.

Pansied

Heartsease Pansy is now officially done.  This means I've got one more project crossed off my 2011 Crazy January List.  Yay, progress!

On To The Other Side

Doing the right side fence now.  I'll be very happy when I can just work this all the way across at once.

All Filled In

I've got the interstitial area filled in, but it's not done yet.  I need to add gold crosses.  Then, I can finally get to the fun part.
