Placemats

Found these at the Embassy Christmas bazaar. We've been using them since.

 

Pens!

I get all the metallics...

 

Inside Saint Stephen's

This seems a good place to rest. Certainly peaceful. It was good that we went when we did; we got to see everything without tons of other people galloping about.

 

Various Ornaments

I haven't been able to do any finishing so far this year. I'm just been busy and stressed. But these three were finished at the end of last year and show three different techniques.

 

Parental Gifts

Andreas' parents sent us a box of Christmas presents. They got here on time; I am just that far behind on posting things on my blog. We are very grateful, and I plan on using the bag on our road trip to Poland.

 

New Design

Tracy at Ink Circles decided to try to design for variegated threads. This is the beginning of the result. I am one of the first set of beta stitchers, and we are supposed to use Cosmo floss. These are the first three of six colors.

 

Working Across

Still working across. One more swirl done, and time to look into the beak.
