Goldwork Leaf Done

I finished couching the leaf this week. The next thing to do is the circular berries in the upper left. They also get couched -in a circle from the inside out. It'll look neat, I'm sure.

Medieval Town Mandala

I started part four this week - it's a line of flowers on each side with fences over them. The stitching you see there was just one needleful of the dark and half a needleful of the light. At this rate, it'll go fast. I need something to go fast at this point!

Round Robin and Panda

This week has been a disaster for stitching. My guild's quarterly newsletter had to get out and the computer I keep all my data for it on died. So, these two got a bit more work done than others because I took them along on errands. The round robin needs to be done by the end of the week. I think I can make it. The panda needs to be done soon after so my husband can frame it. Hopefully I'll get them finished. Right now, I feel sooooo behind on everything. Christmas does that to me.

Round Robin and Mini Mandala

Both of these progressed some. The mandala ornament got pushed aside somewhat in favor of finishing the Joyeux Noel. The sun in the round robin almost has its center done. Once I finish that, it's the rays coming out and then shipping off to France. I've already got the next one to add to and found a pattern to do. It should go fairly quickly, since it's only a capital L.

Joyeux Noel

This was one of the two ornaments I started a couple of weeks ago. I finished the stitching on this one and think it came out well. Now to do the finishing into an ornament to exchange next Monday at the Pocono Mountain Christmas party. It's a freebie on Isabell Vautier's blog if you want to do it too.

Panda and Midi Mystery

Both of these are making progress - some more of the little panda is stitched and the arches are coming along slowly. They're just stuck, kind of. I feel like I'm not making a lot of headway on them.

Beading Away

So yes, I've gotten some done on both. The strap is about two inches longer and the purse itself has beaded fly stitches over almost all of the first line - at least after these pictures were taken. The fly stitch goes really quickly, but like all beading, it's just not portable. I even have problems putting it on my computer desk and working on it while I'm waiting for something else, so it's a dining room table only process. It's getting there, though.
