Huswif Progress

I've made quite a bit of progress on this, mainly because it's become the piece I carry around while waiting for people to get done with things. The colors on the second picture are more true; it's hard to get a good picture because of the lack of contrast between the fabric and the floss. I still love the feel of Vikki Clayton's silks. After this picture was taken, I finished Part 1 and started Part 2. Part one ends at the bar below the frames. So now I'm only a month and a half behind.

Needlepoint Finish

Got this finished this week. I'm going to put it into a luggage tag as a gift when I get the tag. It's the ninth of ten finishes on my project challenge. Only one more to go!

Goldwork Parts C and D Done

This week I was able to work on the goldwork twice, making me able to complete two areas. The "beads" in the middle of the flower were all supposed to use Jaceron, but I had extra bits from my last goldwork piece and used them. That means I added bits of copper to it. I think it looks pretty good.

Victorian Garden

I reached the point of the edge of parts 2 and 3 this week. I'll be working it from top down now. Since taking this picture, I've made more progress than usual for me in a week. I'm pleased. The colors blend into each other quite well. I'm still far behind, but at least I'm catching up, somewhat.

Strap Stretched

I didn't get much done on this this week - just managed to get the strap another inch and a half longer. I still like how it is coming along. Will be able to get it done, hopefully, soon.

Heart on the Backstretch

I have the heart completely done now and am just filling in the background now. It looks pretty good and I got quite a bit more done since this picture, so I -should- have this done by the end of the week. It's my goal!

Medieval Town Mandala

Still working on the first corner, though it is coming along. Got most of the colors for the triangle in there, at least, though it needs gold in it. My husband left again today for another two week trip, and I'm here with two kids, a dog, two cats and a guinea pig. My stitching has really been suffering with this whole upset schedule thing every week. Maybe when I get back from France I'll settle into a new schedule. I doubt it'll happen before then.
