April's Done

I finished April, and the yellow wasn't as bad in the end as I feared.  You can still see the chick.  Now I put it to bed until May first.

Bits Of Backrgound

Lots of background to fill in at the moment, so doing that.  Hard to see except for the backstitching on the top.

Sucking

I have gotten pretty far on this.  Soon the whole phrase will be seen!

Spiral Gift

Andreas knows how much I like spirograph, so he bought me two!  I think I will take the little one with me back to the States next month.  I have an idea on how to use it for temari making.  Yay!

Making Color

Not only am I making color on the peacock tail, I've decided to branch out back to the left and start working on meshing those things together.  I hope I do it so it looks good, since there's more of a gap there than in the pattern.

Being Merry

This pincushion is much bigger than most pin cushions I'm used to, so it's not -that- quick a stitch.  On the other hand, it's coming along at a fairly good clip, and I will probably make it into a pin keep instead.

New Stash!

I needed to get one kit from Nicola Jarvis, so I ordered three while I was at it.  One of them is the Apple Blossom kit I've already started.  These two I will probably start next month when I'll have a lot of time to myself.
