All Red

A few more lines of progress, all of them in red.  Next time, it looks to be all black and brown...

Three Quarters

Three quarters done on time to get the fourth quarter before the the last day, yay!  I'll get the last part done within the next couple of weeks.

Caved In


I ended up starting the third rectangle, so I could feel like I had a new start.  it's a more orange-ish and spiky one, so it's almost like a new start, isn't it?

Started the Satin

I started some satin stitches this week.  It's going pretty quickly because they're large stitches.  The special stitches are going to go sooo much more quickly than the regular cross stitches.  After this, it's just beading.  I'm feeling more hopeful about it being done before the end of the year now.

A Heartly Start

Yet another project from Sticklounge.  I think most of my daily stitching is projects from this group.  This is going to be a bunch of teacups.  I thought it'd be cute to hang in a kitchen.

About to Frog

Because this piece isn't really figural or symmetric, I'm finding I keep messing up by one stitch.  This time, it was the upper line.  It's one too long, so the small square and the diamond beginning below it get to be ripped out.... I -will- get better at reading charts!  Count twice, stitch once.
