Blue and Gray

More of the backstitching is finished; the flowers on the lower left are about done.  I also added some green metallic and some gray to the outer part. 

A Random Temari

Well, I had an itch to do a temari a week or so ago.  It went pretty well, and I made this out of some of my Weeks win.  All the perle cotton used on this was from them, and is size five.  Even though I didn't really follow the pattern I wanted to make properly, I like the results.  And Weeks is good for temari, too!

More Stash

We went to the market last week and I hadn't hit up my ribbon dealer in a while, so we did.  This is what I found!

Restart

I've now restarted the punto antico biscornu.  It's all in blue this time!  I'm using some of the Weeks Dye Works thread I won.  This is the two ply floss.  It's definitely not nearly as bulky as the Watercolours.

Yet Another Start

This one I'm not working on much yet either, but I did manage to start it.  It's Odds n Ends from Tam's Creations, and is the new Sticklounge logo.  People are doing it in all kinds of colors.  Me?  I'm just doing the pink on blue thing.  It's going to be in my regular rotation of Sticklounge projects, but I just haven't put it there yet.

Resamplered

I'm working on the second part now and have it partially done.  It's been going slow because I don't get to it every day.  On the other hand, it -is- making progress.

Beribboned

The light part of the ribbon is now done, which is yet more progress.  I've also done more gold and more brown.  Shocking.  If I ever get a break in my stitchalongs (ie, catch up to the point where I don't have an immediate deadline), this will become the project I work on daily, just to get it done.  It's so close.
