I got the rest of the cashmere stitches done on this and started the next step - a braid on the side of each outer block. I should have those done by the next picture. It's coming along, but I probably won't finish it for Christmas without a lot of extra time I can't seem to find.

Back to the Chicken
Frogs Finished
Well, yesterday I said I'd finish these, and I did. My husband's already working on framing them. I think the backstitching helped a LOT and they came out really cute. My son still has no clue it's for him. This makes my eleventh finish for my 25 project challenge and my first non-round robin finish all month. I've been a slacker.

A Christmas Ornament
Since this is the beginning of the Christmas blitz, I'd better work on ornaments, right? This one is on white using Vikki Clayton's silk. It's a free chart called Wheel of Fortune that I downloaded and printed off from somewhere. At least it's started.
An Island Home
This is the project I picked for the ANG Cyberpointers (gads, I hate that name!) test meeting. The line drawing itself is from the Classic Stitches website. They suggested using Anchor threads and long and short stitch for it. Their version looked very nice, but I'm the experimental type and was told by my co-committee heads that I needed to "add value" to the project instead of just putting this one out there. So, I managed to add more stitch types to it and stitch from my stash instead of going out and buying new colors.
I like the way it's turning out. It's a bit more abstract than the original. I probably would change the buttonhole gobelin stitches on the cottage to something else, but I like the way the stitches are coming together for everything else.
