Flowers And Swirls

I'm working my way on this.  It has become my daily project as of Monday.  I'm almost done, and I have to say I'm disappointed in the kit materials and instructions.  The materials were all the wrong colors and I couldn't even match anything to the bright red in the cover photo  The same thing happened with the threads.  On the other side, it looks pretty good even with all the not following the instructions

Proud Dragon

I feel proud of all the stitching I got done on this while it was on its two weeks of being the daily stitch.  I have a much prouder dragon now and am very close to having the first two pages complete.

New Game

Andreas decided it was time for a new game, and he decided to indulge my chemistry nerd.  I think we're taking this with us on safari next week.

Up To Eight

I have eight leaves done.  Slowly I progress.  Starting tomorrow, this will be my daily piece for a while, so it should show a lot more progress next photo.

Threads!

More new thread bought while in the States!

Blue Nails

I went to the same nail place twice while I was in training.  It's Ivy Nail and Spa in Arlington.  They did a really good job.  This is a photo taken the day I got the manicure a week ago Saturday.  Even doing my daily stuff, the (non-gel) polish stayed on just above a week before beginning to chip.  It's a really good deal, too.

Treed

I believe I now have the tree stitched completely.  There's some grassy stuff below it, but I feel I am getting close to the bottom of the picture.
