Looks Like A Smudge

More of this round is done.  Not completing rounds per session anymore, as they're getting bigger.  I promise it doesn't look like a smudge in person.

Hot Game

Went to a baseball game with Melina on Saturday and it was waaaay hot!  Ended up spending most of the game in the Diamond Club.  It's not as nice as the Rangers' Capital One Club, but it was definitely air conditioned.

Alphabetical Start

I bought this piece at In Stitches when I was there last month.  Decided it was time to start something brand new.  It's called Alphabet Basket Sampler and is from Shepherd's Bush.

Thickening Swirls

This time I basically worked on background and on thickening some swirls.  Still looking pretty good.

Cloaking

The most visible part of what I did this last time is the cloak.  It's all stitched but for the golden border.

Motifs Popping

Motifs are popping out of the sides of the owl.  I think they're looking good.

All Piccaled!

It's all done! I love the effect of overdyed thread in pieces like this.  I'll be making this into an ornament when I get back to Africa.  One more crazy start down, too.
