New Year Start

I am not doing Crazy January this year, but did start one thing on New Year's Day.  It's this mandala from Chatelaine.  I have been meaning to start it on this day for quite a while.

Another Giant Grab Bag

 The first photo gives you an idea of how big the bags were.  All the photos following are of items in the bag.  I am going to give away the candlewicking thread, of which there was a lot, because it's something I'm not remotely interested in.

To The Ceilings

The ceilings have a lot of decoration, too.  I was disappointed, though, that the embroidery was obviously machine...

Pretty Pink

I did a lot of pink this time, on the flower on the left.  I think more than half the petals are done.

Smaller Bundles

 This is from two smaller grab bags from Nordic Needle.  These bags are definitely more useful.  I can put projects in them.

Up The Columns

The chapel columns are covered in frescoes resembling tapestries.  Now that they've been cleaned, they're beautiful.  Even the ceilings are decorated.

Subtle Colors

I truly love the way the subtle colors are coming out on this.  It'll make a beautiful ornament once it's stitched, and I am nearly halfway through the stitching!
