June In Five

It took me five days to stitch June.  Maybe I can get that fast on some of my other projects.  Halfway through the sampler year.

Getting Grounded

I was stitching on this daily for a while, and I made a bunch of progress.  Lots of grass and rocks were discovered in the pattern.  I also got the top area gridded in backstitch.

Curls And Swirls

This looks much better in person than in the photo.  The colors really come together on the lightly colored fabric.  Two more weeks and you get Andreas' much better photos.

Over The Hump

I am now over the halfway point on this band.  Chugging along, even though the daily time has run out.

Dinner With Friends

Had dinner with Regan and the kids the other night at Silver Diner.  It's a weird place, but the food was okay.  For some reason, the DC area is full of small, odd chains that are no where else in the country.  Perhaps all the government employees make the economy better?  We all had sandwiches of some sort.  Mine was a philly cheese steak.

Fourfilled

I really like the look of this fourth portion.  It wasn't too hard to do.  Things are progressing, if slowly.

Flowering Along

I've restarted this and begun some bullion stitch flowers. I think they're coming along okay.  One and a half more of them to go.
