Start Of The Month

I am very happy with my progress!  I started May on May first.  This means I'm caught up with where I should be, and that April's sweet peas are done!

Better Dancers

These had been hanging on our stairway wall for three years now.  They were dusty and unprotected.  MolDeco to the rescue - they cleaned and framed them beautifully.

Second Layer

I am finally working on the second layer of the design.  Despite having more thread showing, it looks less dense than the first layer alone.  There are four layers, total.  This leaf is going sooo slowly.

Bits Of Words

So far there are just bits of words on this.  Soon, it'll start making sense.

For A Formal Library

I made the snails from a Crewel Works company kit, but didn't want them finished into a cushion - so I had MolDeco make them into this wondrous box.

Revenge Of The Sixth?

Andreas took a bunch of Star Wars fan art to MolDeco  to be framed.  These are the results.




All Spined Up

I have finally finished another of the cowboy belt buckle series from Chaparral Needlepoint.   My problem with all of them is that the stitch guide is pathetic.  There's no overall scheme showing you which part is what they're talking about, and there's count for the stitch diagrams.  Since these instructions were made in 2007, there's no excuse for this.  It's well after the advent of easy software remedies.  I ended up with completely different stitches and colors in large portions of this because of the failures of the stitch guide.
