There's been progress on all three of these. I think the Medieval Town Mandala is going quickest, since I stopped working so much on the mini one so I could do more on the panda. This week should be much better for stitching - very few commitments and maybe some time to myself after tomorrow.
The panda's getting there. I'll be working on it a lot more this week in the hope of finishing it. It won't be framed by Christmas, but it will be done. Most of what needs to be done yet is in color (yay!). I've gotten kind of tired of black.
Okay, so my husband photographed it sideways this week. You can still see the progress. I got the two golden couched berries on the left done. It's getting closer and closer to getting finished. Surprisingly, it doesn't take as much time to do as I thought.
Both of these made miniscule amounts of progress this week. I'm filling in the white on the top left rectangle of the auction piece, and after this picture was taken, I put the upright crosses in the little green diamonds on the bargello piece. Next I need to do some more elongated crosses between the big motifs.
My husband finished framing this today. Didn't he do a great job? He picks the colors for the mats and makes the frames from scratch. This one will be going to my in-laws for Christmas. I hope they like it.
When he took pictures yesterday, my husband finally put a coin down next to the purse strap. Now you have a way to gauge how long and how wide it is. I got another couple of inches done on it this week. I'm about to start beading on the ribbons in a few minutes.
