Midi Mystery and Mini Mandala
Almost the whole upper left quadrant of the mini mandala is done - at least cross stitch wise. I've put in some of the Rhodes stitches in there. There are quite a few more and some back stitching. I think it's looking pretty good. The background is a really white white, unlike what the picture shows. On the Midi Mystery, I've gotten more of the arches done. This week was supposed to be less busy than last, but it's not really working out that way. Maybe I'll get more done.

Exchange Ornament
This is the ornament I'm exchanging tonight. I do a LOT better when I stitch finish ornaments than when I glue, for some reason. Anyway, I had time to do the stitching on this one. My husband wants me to do this again but increase the contrast between the thread color and the fabric. I like this one, though.

Medieval Town Mandala
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.
