Leaf It Alone

My lone fully done leaf won't be all by itself for long.  The second one is started around the edges.

Second Sprig

The second sprig is well along.  It's time, maybe, to start some backstitching.

Pretty Book

I've been collecting blank books again.  Picked this one up at the Budapest Christmas market.

On The Way Out

There are a whole hotel and a banquet hall and a hospital inside the salt mine.  You see some of it on the way out.  It's beautifully finished.  I think it might be fun to do the hotel at some point.  The banquet hall hosted New Year's festivities this year.  I wonder how it went.

Full Bodied

The peacock is beginning to look full bodied.  He's filling out nicely.  Now to get the rest of the stuff done.  At least I know I'm more than a quarter of the way done because two of eight pages are complete and I'm about ten rows into the third and fourth.

Still Redding, Not Snowing

More of both the border and the inner area are done, but there's no white in sight.

Quilted Ornaments

Andreas' mom Betsy made these ornaments to hang on our arch.  They look pretty complicated.  Thank you!
