I had fun working on my kiku temari this week, and got two motifs done. Only three more to go and it'll be done. I'll probably do those over this coming week. I really like making temari and have ordered some rice hulls so I can make some more.

Asian Nights- Cobi's Block
Okay, so with my hospital visit and so on, I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped on my stitch commitments to others. I finally finished one of my round robin commitments this week. Cobi chose the theme of India, and India is orange to her, so the block is orange.
I did two motifs and one large bead line. They're visible in this close up. The circular motif is supposed to be a mandala circle, or prayer maze. The one up top is a basic shaped I found from a picture of a street drawing in Delhi. I punched it up with a lot of "bling" metallics. The bead trail is supposed to symbolize how India juxtaposes so many divergent things but they all come out as a harmonious (for the most part) whole.

Finally, I Have Pictures!
I haven't been posting this week because I had no pictures! Now I do, my husband took a lot today. This one is of my finished alphabet for the old French round robin. It should be framed really soon, as my husband has the frame made already. He was waiting for me. This counts as a finish in my twenty-five project challenge. Between this and the crackers, I've now finished eleven things!

A New Ornament
I found this freebie ornament on Solo Brode a couple of weeks ago and decided to make it. I'm using Bush Christmas from Dinky Dyes and a leftover piece of linen. I think it's coming out cute so far.
