Snail's Pace

I think I'm at the point in this part where I feel like I'm making no progress even though I am. There's just such a large chunk to do here. I got more silver and more of that pretty Oasis Waterlilies done on this. It's progressing and I can see the tendrils growing, just not very quickly. I'll get over it when I get everything above the point done and it looks like I'm getting things done for real.

Second Band Done


The second band of Tiramisus done. Next band is BIG, so it's going to take me a while to do it. I'm pleased by the progress. Still don't know why my husband's camera is showing this so yellow. I'm debating adding more than these two colors to the design right now. Maybe some green?

Edging Along


The strap's grown to 35 inches and I'm almost done with the first row of edging on the sides in this picture. Since then, I've started working on the second row. Once that's done, the purse is done!

Golden Curls

I ended up adding some more gold to the corner this week. Also did some blue. Considering how big the corners are, I'm somewhat surprised it's going as quickly as it is. I still really like it.

Pots Done


Yay! I am down to only doing the specialty stitches on part two! Real progress! It feels good to get all those cross stitches done.

Mercury Rising

To me, this looks like the moon rising on an autumn night. It's Mercury, though, and I'm still working on it. at least it's farther along than it was a week ago.

Huswif - Big Band

Still not waiting much for my kids, so not much done on this. The band I'm working on is rather big, and I did do some extra yesterday after this picture was taken. There's a big carnation in the middle in Hazelnut, and two on the sides in Burnished Gold. I'm still really enjoying the Vikki Clayton silks. They don't snag and they have a nice sheen.
