Stash Steals

One small shop that has a bunch of knick knacks in Odessa is getting rid of its stitching section.  I found these two kits on sale there and snapped them up.  The left is cross stitch and the right is beading.

Redder

I'm getting closer to the end of all this red.  Maybe I should just plow through and get this done.

Odessa Last Week

It's amazing how few tourists there are in a city in winter in a country at war.  We were the only people with foreign plates that we saw.  On the other hand, everything was open and beautiful and it was definitely worth the trip.

The photo directly below shows a makeshift war memorial.

Crazy January Start #29: Trent Cottage

This is another little cottage magnet like the one I finished a bit over a year ago.  This one, for some reason, looks like less stitching to me.

Beginning The Flower

Working my way around this.  It's definitely coming along.

Easter Egging

I found these kits in a textile shop in Odessa week before last.  They're beading on printed fabric.  I can't wait to have the time and space to start one.

Getting In Some Gold

I have gotten some more of this done.  It seems to be taking shape well.  I still like it.
