Unfinished Object To Finished Object

I started this at least seven years ago and abandoned it while in Moldova for some reason.  When I packed out my stitching for the transition from Moldova to Angola, I decided to take this with me to finish.  I did it!  It's done, and I think it came out pretty well.  It was my first finish of 2016.  Now I really wish my stash would get here.  Supposedly it's at the port but we won't get anything for another couple of weeks.

Star Wars Miniature

Andreas plays X-Wing when he can, so his parents got him a few more miniatures for it.

Crazy January Start #1 - Chinese Mandala

It's the middle of the mandala and it's going to need a lot of work, but after finishing two others last year, I think I can do it.

Wondering About Trees

After this bit of stitching I've decided to focus on individual trees from left to right.  We'll see how that goes.  On a bright note, I stitched a couple of stitches on the bottom row...

On The Downslope

I am definitely over halfway done with the backstitching now.   I can't believe how slow it's been going, but working on it every day has at least meant progress.

Stitchy Gift

Andreas' mom made this travel organizer for me for Christmas.  I love the peacock pattern of course, and will start using it as soon as I start feeling on track and settled here.  Thank you!

DottieBox Earrings

I know, I don't need new earrings, but when they arrive in a Dottiebox, who am I to question?  I love the way they look and am happy to get them.  It's wonderful to get a box in the mail every month with new surprises.
