Time to start the Petite Arabesque, since I now have the kit from Laura Perin. It's on the stitch maynia list. While I was ordering, I got the four ornaments pattern, too.
The peahen looks almost done. I still have a lot to do, though. There are about twenty more rows to go on the top half of the design. Brown is still the dominant color, but at least I am getting past the branches.
Andreas' parents saw this at a craft store while they were out and bought it for me. It's a kogin embroidery kit, and I will start it during my Stitch Maynia week after next. I hope I can do it justice! Thank you Besty and Mike.
