Thank You Cathy!

I had made a comment here a few months ago that I had a hard time finding cottons, especially solids, here.  Cathy sent me some!  They're gorgeous, and she sent me some trim too.  It was such a wonderful random act of kindness, especially since she had to send it twice - the post office messed up my APO address and put it in the international mail originally.   But it all got here in great condition and I'll start using it immediately.

Thank you Cathy!

Still More Red

Little bits of brown, but the main color of the week was red again.  Still and all, it's getting closer to the end of the first page.
I got more petals done, yay!  I'm slowly working down the area to get it filled so I can start more properly page two.  I'm only three pages behind so far.... at least it's started.

Third Part Done

The third part of the heart is done, out of four.  Only one more to go and it's done.  I'll have a finish soon!  I feel like I've been getting so little done this year so far.

Framing It In

I've been framing in the big buildings on the second side this week.  There's more brickwork done on the middle building and the area surrounding the doors on the stable is stitched.  I also did some work on the building on top of the stable.

Some Gold, Some Brown

The Lady got a bit more glitz this week with some gold braid and, of course, what would a week be without some brown added?  At least it's getting to the end.  The white sweep on the left is the last of her dress on that area.

Kaleiding Away

There were four solid squares and several periphery pieces here for the part I'm working on now.  I still haven't finished it, after over a week of working on it every day, but it is coming along.  Finishing soon.
